Low-Tech and Mid-Tech Adaptations to Assist Students with Disabilities Complete Math Assignments

In my previous blogs I had provided you with some applications that were considered "high-tech". In this post, I will be focusing on low-tech and mid-tech adaptations to assist students to complete math assignments.

Low-Tech

• Fraction rubber stamps
• Counters
• Manipulative number line
• Laminated addition and multiplication tables
• Special ruler with transparent overlay

Mid-Tech

• Large calculators with oversized buttons
• Talking calculators
• See 'n' Solve calculators

Have you used any in your classroom?
