AT and Learning

There a many resources to help with learning. Using Assistive Technology (AT) to help overcome a disability or even to simplify the learning process is only one step in learning.

The first step is a willingness to learn. The old maxim, “You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink” is especially appropriate for learning. The student has to be willing to learn and motivated to continue. Otherwise, the material becomes fodder for Trivia Night.

Learning should be a lifelong process and not just of the formal kind.

With public libraries and now the internet, knowledge and learning is available on demand in unlimited quantities.

AT is a necessity for those with disabilities, but it can help everyone learn and communicate better.

Do you (or your children/students) have a plan for continued learning?

If not, then you need to think about making one.
