When
trying to find a device for a students to use in the classroom, there
are many factors that need to be taken into consideration.
- what the goal is for the child
- the child's abilities (physical and cognitive)
- cost of device
- the family's culture
- where the device will be used
- what challenges does the child face currently
- how will school personnel evaluate the success of the device
- what teachers will need to attend training to learn about the device and how to use it effectively
