    Curriculum Integration Activity

    Fill in the Tools and rationale for each sample student based on what AT, you believe, would fit for the student. (A.B,&C)

    Student A Environments

    4th Grader Inclusive 4th grade classroom with in-class support teacher
    Avid reader: No learning Disabilities Laptops Available
    Has Cerebral Palsy with fine motor iPads Available
    problems. Cannot hold a pencil or turn An iPad mounting system is installed on the student’s wheelchair.
    pages of a book but can type with one
    finger.

    Tasks Tools Rationale

    Book Report on personal choice book 1. Pencil grip 1. Because Student A has issues with
    2. Word prediction fine motor skills, I believe that a
    pencil grip would be a valuable
    tool for he/she to use. This would
    not only help Student A hold a
    pencil correctly, but it would also
    further develop the muscles in
    his/her dominant hand/fingers.
    2. Since Student A can type with only
    one finger, I think that it would be
    beneficial to use word prediction
    on his laptop through Word. This
    would increase his typing rate. I
    think that a laptop is the best
    device for Student A to use
    because he/she can sit it on a
    surface. Student A would not have
    to worry about holding another
    device, such as an iPad, in one
    hand while typing with the other.

    Student B Environments
    6th Grader
    Has Learning Disabilities: Inclusive middle school classroom. Departmentalized
    Reads on a 2nd grade level Laptops/iPads available
    Handwriting is illegible Bluetooth keyboards available
    Difficulty editing & spelling

    Tasks Tools Rationale

    Writing up Science Labs 1. Dictionary 1. I think that a dictionary would be a


    2. Word processing app good fit for Student B. He/she can
    use either a laptop or an iPad. This
    would help Student B with his/her
    spelling. I think it would also be
    beneficial for Student B’s teacher
    to provide him/her with a choice of
    a laptop or an iPad. This would
    give the student a sense of control
    and limit his/her frustrations.
    2. I believe that a word processing
    app would be a useful tool for
    Student B. Through a word
    processing app, the student would
    have access to many other types of
    assistive technology. For example,
    the student would be able to use
    spell check through Word. This
    tool would decrease Student B’s
    frustrations, as well as help
    Student B’s teacher read his/her
    work with ease.

    Student C Environment
    10th Grader with Autism Laptops & iPads Available
    Easily frustrated Bluetooth Keyboard and various cases available
    Has attention issues
    Reading is below grade level
    Likes to be organized
    Handwriting is very sloppy

    Task Tools Rationale


    Writing an Autobiography
    1. Digital recorder app 1. Because Student C has deficits in
    2. Graphic organizer his/her attention span, I think that a
    digital recorder app would be a
    good fit for him/her. There are
    many digital recorder apps on both
    laptops and iPads. The student
    would be able to refer back to
    his/her teacher’s lecture when
    needed. I also think that a digital
    recorder would be helpful for
    Student C because he/she would be
    able to learn auditorily. He/she
    would not have to struggle with
    reading notes.
    2. I think that a graphic organizer
    would be a perfect tool for Student
    C to use. Because the student has
    sloppy handwriting, I think that a
    graphic organizer on the computer
    would be a better option for the
    student than a graphic organizer
    handout. This tool would also

    allow Student C to organize his/her


    thoughts through the writing
    process.
