A+Linear+Path

=A Linear Path=

Some people (we consider them to be 'odd') prefer to learn linearly. AT is multi-disciplinary and fuzzy. There aren't a lot of clear divisions for subject material and levels of description.

Nevertheless, some kind of sequence is needed, or we'll all be wandering around twisty little paths until the cows come home.


 * 1) What is Assistive Technology?
 * 2) Disablism
 * 3) I'm putting disablism here early in the Linear Path because I think it's important to be able to have that anti-disablism perspective when you're looking at AT topics in the future. You want to be able to look at things the way a person with a disability might see them. Not only that, you want to be able to look at things the way a disablity rights activist might see them.
 * 4) Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
 * 5) In K-12, Assistive Technology is intertwined with Educational (or "Instructional") Technology because computers and other technology are an integral part of the typical school day.
