| Abstract | Assistive technology (AT) helps bridge the gap between students with learning disabilities (LD) and their peers without LD. However, this implies a need for teachers to become well-trained and proficient in the use of AT. There are established AT competencies for educators, and AT services professionals must be knowledgeable about AT to select and recommend specific technology to individual education program teams. Professionals should also be well-versed with AT to be able to train students in its use. There is a significant need for research on teachers' knowledge and perceptions of AT (i.e., interest in using it and barriers to incorporating it) as well as the best ways to provide AT training. To investigate these areas, a survey was administered to teachers of students with LD at the elementary and middle school levels. Our results indicated that completing an AT course in college along with self-reported AT proficiency in iPad reading apps were associated with higher ratings of AT knowledge. Additionally, higher AT proficiency ratings and completing AT college course work were associated with perceptions of college preparation of AT, but these factors did not predict perceptions of workplace preparation. Teachers were clearly interested in utilizing AT but felt their college did not adequately prepare them in AT, and funding issues were the most common barriers to implementing AT. Our findings suggest a need for an emphasis on AT training in college courses. (As Provided). |
