**Technology ** [|Technology--Montgomery County Public Schools] This website contains information about assistive technology and accessible technology. It connects technology to Universal Design for Learning (UDL).

Assistive Technology (AT) refers to technology that will help children with different kinds of disabilities access the curriculum.

Accessible technology helps improve the capabilities of all children.

When educators take advantage of all the technology available to them, they will help all children access the curriculum and achieve academic excellence.

In an interview with Technology Supervisor Maryanne (personal communication, July 3, 2012), she indicated that her school district likes to provide the same technology for all children and teach teachers how to use it differently for different students. In that way, children will not feel singled out when using technology. In addition, she recognizes that some children will still need specific technology that may not be able to be provided to all children, and the district will provide that technology to them.
