Consider training and support Choose technologies that are easy to learn and operate. This will help your child build confidence in using the tools and in realizing their benefits. Experiment with a technology through such sources as assistive technology centers or conferences, schools and universities, computer shows, learning disability conferences, retail outlets, and friends.
Most manufacturers are willing to provide demonstrations.
Some will even loan the technology on a trial basis. Whenever possible, choose technologies with online help systems. Avoid instructional manuals with difficult, technical words. Manuals should be easy to read and understand. Supporting documentation should be presented in brief, clear sections.
