AT Devices

In the next few posts I'll be sharing different Assistive Technology devices.  I'll include information on the advice, tutorials for easy use, and who these devices would benefit.  The first one is...

Word Prediction Software

Who is it for?
This software would greatly benefit students who have reading disabilities, writing disabilities, and dyslexia.  It allows students to partially type a word and the computer will create a list of possible words (based on context) they could be attempting to write. Allowing the student to then find the word he or she was meaning to type.
 
Common Brands...
EType
Pictures/Videos/Tutorials...
I think this is a fairly simple device to use.  Great for students with multiple needs.  This program is FREE!!!!  Does it get much better than that!?  It's available for free download from www.etypeone.com
The suggestions of words you may want/mean pops up as you're typing for you to quickly click and move on.
