I believe that assistive technologies is essential to use for students who have special needs.  This will make things easier for them to learn and even be a part of the classroom.  These students may also feel more included in the learning process if a classroom can offer technologies to suit their needs. 

I know assistive technology will affect me in the classroom because if a student has a disability, i want that student to be able to be as normal as possible. Assistive Technology is great and should be used if necessary all the time, so students can learn to the best of their ability.
