Abstract

Research shows that assistive technology (AT) can help young children with disabilities to learn developmental skills.(1) Its use may help infants and toddlers to improve in many areas: • social skills including sharing and taking turns • communication skills • attention span • fine and gross motor skills • self confidence and independence The right type of assistive technology can improve a child’s ability to communicate. This in turn may help reduce some negative behaviors. Examples of common assistive technology devices include wheel chairs, computers, computer software, and communication devices.
