Abstract

This paper will address definitions, services, levels of technology and application of assistive technology concepts as they relates to education. An overview of the NCATE and ISTE guidelines concerning assistive technology, and the current elements of the graduate educational degrees concerning assistive technology is provided. Federal legislation concerns the application of assistive technology in an educational setting and its possible impact on educational technologists. A model is proposed for a course concerning assistive technology and universal design to better prepare instructional technology graduates to enhance the performance of students with disabilities and design educational material for increased accessibility. This session is intended for educators in instructional technology and exceptional education programs.
