This is one type of AT that I think most of us are familiar with, even if we haven't seen it in use as assistive technology. There are so many electronic touch tablet options out there. The bottom line is you can download just about any application and use the tablet to complete many different tasks.
Students that may benefit from an electronic touch tablet are those who are able to touch with one finger but not grip a pencil or type on a keyboard. Also, depending on what applications you download to the tablet, it can be helpful to certain students. It can be used for speech output for students who are nonverbal or have limited speech. It can be used for a talk-to-text function, for students who have difficulty writing. The possibilities seem endless!

Allison your blog is very colorful and packed with great information, as well as, resources. It is clearly written and very easy to follow. I like the different AT devices and software that you chose to discuss in your posts. It was good to learn about other options that I could have chose for my own posts.
