In my previous post I discussed adaptions that can be used to develop math skills, problem solving and concepts. However, those adaptions can cost money and be expensive. Therefore, I am going to discuss some low-tech and mid-tech adaptions to assist students with disabilities to complete their assignments. The students can use number lines to help assist them with addition and subtraction in math. These can be placed on their name tags or around the classroom for low cost. Also, laminated addition, subtraction, multiplication and number 1-100 charts can be used to help assist students.
Mid-tech adaptions that can be used are calculators. There are so many types of calculators to meet the needs of all students. Students with visual impairments or motor skills would be able to use an oversized calculator with large buttons. This could help the students complete their assignments.
