Overview

Assistive Technology (AT) supports students with a broad range of learning difficulties, physical disabilities and/or sensory impairments. These range from high incidence, lower impact disabilities (for example, dyslexia, dyspraxia) through to low incidence, higher impact disabilities (for example, cerebral palsy, autism).

This course is taught by distance learning. You will be able to attend weekly online classes at the same time as other students on the course. These synchronous learning classes will help you collaborate and interact with your fellow learners.

There is also a week of on-campus activity (optional for international students) including learning sessions and a conference where you can meet suppliers, and your fellow students.

This course has been developed to address a global need for the professionalisation of the ‘Assistive Technologist’ role within all levels of education provision.

You will qualify as an Educational Assistive Technologist (EduAT). You will learn about:

  • the role tasks and responsibilities of the Educational Assistive Technologist
  • Assistive Technology (AT) solutions
  • assessment for AT
  • AT in educational programmes
  • specialist and mainstream AT solutions
  • AT partner relationships
  • models of disability
  • therapeutic considerations of disability and the learning environment

This course is primarily for teachers, therapists and technologists who are seeking to develop and enhance their ability to support AT users (the disabled users of assistive technology, including service users, students or learners who require AT. It will equip you with the skills, knowledge and working methodology needed to practise as an educational assistive technologist.
