The Kennedy Day School provides assistive technology solutions to support student

learning throughout the curriculum.

The student's team continually assesses the child's strengths and challenges to

determine how technology can improve funtioning or provide better access to the

academic curriculum.

The Assistive Technology Specialist works directly with students to determine

individual assisitive technology needs, provides consultation, customization and,

as needed, fabrication of high and low tech options to enhance student learning,

communication, social interactions, and environmental control through the use of

technology. Assisitive technology tools offer students mechanisms for greater

independence, self-direction in learning and enhanced self-esteem.
