Implementing assistive technologies: A study on co-learning in the Canadian elementary school context

作者:

Highlights:

• Non-reading students in Grades 4-5 cannot access the curriculum and information.

• Assistive technology use to compensate for reading gaps is under-researched.

• If technology use is routine for all students, assistive device use is more discreet.

• A 6-week intervention program can show improvements in reading and technology use.

• Teacher and researcher co-learning can help non-readers access grade-level text.
