 | Bookshare @Bookshare Bookshare is happy to join the chat. #ldchat |
 | Mike Marotta @mmatp Hey now #LDchat AT Specialist from NJ. Excited to learn with @NEATwithJamie and everyone else today! |
 | Laura Snow @lauradsnow Hi Everyone, Looking forward to learning something new. #ldchat |
 | Edie Brown @edielovesmath @Bookshare Edie from Washington DC. Building an international tribe of teachers and parents of teens and young adults with #ADHD. #LDchat |
| Mike Marotta @mmatp Mark your calendar and join the upcoming #MSFTEduChat scheduled for 5/21. The topic will be Inclusive Classrooms & #A11Y and I am honored to be one of the hosts. Make sure to join us and share your expertise #LDchat https://t.co/tG3hMVNbVr |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Let's get started! We'll use a Q1, Q2… format for questions. Please use the A1, A2… format for answers. Here's the first question… #LDchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Q1. What is #AssistiveTech and how can it help students with #LD and #ADHD? #LDchat https://t.co/tEH9f163h0 |
 | Jamie Martin @NEATwithJamie RT @UnderstoodOrg: Q1. What is #AssistiveTech and how can it help students with #LD and #ADHD? #LDchat https://t.co/tEH9f163h0 |
 | CT SERC @ctserc @NEATwithJamie Hello from a few miles down I-91! Connecticut’s State Education Resource Center joining in. #LDchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg #AssistiveTech is any device, software or equipment that can help kids with #LD and #ADHD work around their challenges. Learn more: https://t.co/X5igrUFnVu #LDchat |
| Mike Marotta @mmatp A1: AT is ANY device (whether low or high tech) that improves the functional capabilities of a student. As simple as a post it note>>> or as high tech as an organization app on a smartphone #LDchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Here are some common examples of #AssistiveTech: https://t.co/aUqGpM91Wy #LDchat |
| Mike Marotta @mmatp @NEATwithJamie the best kind ... none! #LDchat |
| Edie Brown @edielovesmath @UnderstoodOrg Assistive technology (AT) is designed to level the playing field by working around challenges. My older ADHD kids benefit by addressing reading, writing, organization, behavior, and learning strategies. It's similar for my adults on the Autistic Spectrum. #LDchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg The second question is coming up… #LDchat |
| CT SERC @ctserc A1) AT is anything that helps a child perform a skill or participate in an activity. Under IDEA, it is used to increase, maintain, or improve the functional capabilities of students with disabilities, including LDs and ADHD. #LDchat |
| Mike Marotta @mmatp @NEATwithJamie We need to continue to erase this myth. AT is not cheating-just like having my phone remind me about #LDchat wasn't cheating! |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg Q2. How do we help students find the right #AssistiveTech? #LDchat https://t.co/JAupjUy173 |
| CT SERC @ctserc @mmatp @NEATwithJamie Great analogy! #LDchat |
| Understood @UnderstoodOrg With all the options and tools available today, you may not know where to start. Learn more about the first #AssistiveTech our cohost @NEATwithJamie recommends to parents: https://t.co/fwckku8CPc #LDchat |
| Mike Marotta @mmatp A2: Great question! We focus on their needs to make sure we find what is RIGHT for them. The right tool will be different for everyone. We need to work together w/ Ss and ed support teams to understand S abilities, environments and tasks first. Then tools #LDchat |
| Jamie Martin @NEATwithJamie A2. Matching #AssistiveTech tools to student needs is important, especially since there are so many options available. Don’t be afraid to ask for help from an AT specialist. A consultation or evaluation can pinpoint what tools are most appropriate for individual students. #LDchat |

| Edie Brown @edielovesmath @UnderstoodOrg A2. Older students and adults with #ADHD and on the Autistic Spectrum should focus on their strengths first. Then, what are their likes and dislikes (i.e. smartphones, tablets, computers)? Only then, consider weaknesses. Find tools, teach how to use them. #LDchat |
| Mike Marotta @mmatp Please complete our 3 question survey about a new conference coming to New England later this summer focused on supporting Ss w/ LD https://t.co/D5vJyuky8A TIA! #LDchat |

| CT SERC @ctserc A2) The type of AT depends on many factors, including the needs of the student and the task. Finding what’s best is an important consideration of the IEP team. #LDchat |
| Edie Brown @edielovesmath @UnderstoodOrg A3. Parents have a variety of apps for older students and adults. Best of all, they're, free! *Google Text-to-Speech app (reading *Evernote (organization) *Google Keep (organization) *PhotoMath (math) #LDchat |

| Mike Marotta @mmatp @NEATwithJamie Now you got me started! Google Keep might be MY favorite app. I use it all the time. I could - conservatively - talk about Keep for about 6 hours!! If you aren't using it-you are missing out #LDchat |
