Assistive Technology pieces are very important resources in the field of special education. Students with disabilities may have the knowledge or mental capabilities to accomplish a task but are unable to successfully complete the task due to a physical limitation. The assistive piece may enhance the students success by providing the tool that will make completing the task possible. For example a non-verbal student may be able to process a clear thought mentally but is unable to verbally give an answer, in this case a switch or automated machine would be beneficial. Just as the video mentioned, the purpose of assistive technology is to increase independence to those who have disabilities, whatever they may be.
