[Podcast] Assistive Technology
Following up on the heals of our podcast with Laura Johnson on Autism, today we have a great podcast with Brian Friedlander on the use of visualization in Assistive Technology. Whether to help in reading, writing, math, or many other disciplines, assistive technologies allow children and people with language related issues or disabilities to develop their skills often using visual tools and techniques. In this important podcast, you will learn about how your visual thinking skills can be used to help people learn and process information. There are many ways that visual thinking can help improve communication in the world, and assistive technology is one of the fascinating places where our skills can be put to work to make the world a better place. Be sure to check out this important 18 minute, 26 second podcast:
