The Assistive Technology Support Initiative by the Ottawa Network for Education (ONFE) works with the province of Ontario’s formal education system to enhance the academic success of students through the use of computer-based assistive technology for school work.
Assistive technology can help people with disabilities perform tasks and functions that they may not otherwise be able to do. ONFE has developed the videos to demonstrate the various functions that assistive technology can have in the classroom.
The eight short videos cover uses of assistive technology such as mind mapping software for planning essays, advanced editing software for editing, and speech-to-text software for verbal thinkers. The videos are suitable for students from elementary (aged 6) through to tertiary level.
