POPS- Parents Offering Parents Support: What exactly is Assistive Technology??

Tuesday, March 17, 2009

What exactly is Assistive Technology??

A parent called me today and wanted to ask, "What exactly is Assistive Technology??" So after speaking to her, I thought this would be a great topic for our POPS Blog.. I found this information in a few of my educational database materials that I have at home.. This actually was given to me by the SC Assistive Technology Program (SCATP) in Columbia. Please double click the pictures to make them larger to view...
