Andrew is a seventh-grade student with a learning disability. He continues to struggle with writing, being unable to handwrite legibly or type at a functional speed. He completes written assignments very slowly and dislikes language arts. What type of assistive technology does your OT department tell you to begin teaching Andrew to use?
  1. Speech to text or dictation software
  2. Word prediction software
  3. Color-coded keyboard
  4. Voice recorder
Explanation
Answer: A. Speech to text or dictation software will allow Andrew to dictate text directly into a word processing program. Since Andrew’s handwriting and typing skills are both weak, dictation will allow Andrew to compose written work without struggling to perform the motor actions of writing or typing.
