Adaptive technologies allow every student to learn the same content regardless of any disabilities that can possibly hold them back. Everyone is a different type of learner and require different tools to absorb the content being presented. Adaptive technologies allow everyone to get the most out of the lesson. When I was in fourth grade there was a student in my class that was from Japan. He did not speak English so he used a small translator to understand what was going on in class. I was in charge of helping him type in the content in English to then be translated into Japanese.
Adaptive technologies can be expensive and hard to come by. Depending on what school you teach at or where it is located can determine whether someone has access to adaptive technologies. A small rural school in a low income area is less likely to have access to these different technologies. These technologies can also be confusing. Although teachers are expected to know about many different types of technology it is impossible to be completely proficient in every form of adaptive technology. This can become challenging when a teacher does not know has to use an adaptive technology and has to take extra time to learn how to use it.
