Assistive Technology In The Classroom

There are many tools teachers can use to assist students who need extra accommodations. With the help of assistive technology students may feel more comfortable in the classroom. One form of assistive technology I found may be helpful is an app called Audio Exam Player. This app gives students a way to independently hear exam questions, instead of having it read to them aloud in person. There are many students who have this test accommodation, and may feel more comfortable using this app.
I would use this app in my classroom by allowing the students who need this testing accommodation to use this app during an exam. I would provide them with all the materials, such as headphones, for the time of the exam. I feel that this would make the student feel more comfortable because not all children want the extra attention of having a test read aloud to them. This app could possibly help raise test scores because the student is focused on hearing the questions and answers, instead of having to sound out words and concentrate on what they mean.
