A practical and direct volume that illustrates what assistive technologies are, and how these can become a collective, useful, and inclusive tool to support teaching and learning.
Through a series of contributions that offer different perspectives on the topic, this book offers theoretical, technical, and operational considerations and indications on the relationship between assistive technology and the construction of accessible environments at school. In the volume, in fact, the main needs of students are analysed in detail: in the sensory, motor, socio-emotional, language and communication, learning, etc. areas.
