**Assistive Technology for Students with Learning Disabilities**
//OH MY is there such a thing?// AT for LD

 Sure enough there is. Let's look at the definition of AT

 Assistive technology devices:  //"any item, piece of equipment, or product system whether acquired commercially or off the shelf, modified, or customized, that is used to increase, maintain, or improve functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities."//

 So this means **__ANY__ i**tem that will help a student with a learning disability increase, maintain or improve their capabilities.

 //WOW just stop and imagine the possibilities.// Take a look at this graphic organizer for options
