Many assistive technology devices are beneficial for students who have difficulty completing their academic assignments. These devices can range from something as simple as a pencil grip that provides the support needed to appropriately hold a pencil and write to a computer program that provides a student with a wide range of learning support. Electronic and non-electronic aids such as adapted paper, calculators, word identification aids, portable word processors, and computer-based software solutions are used by students who have difficulty achieving in the educational curriculum.
