Abstract

Writing is an important skill needed for success in education, social communications, and employment. Yet many students with disabilities struggle with writing. They may experience difficulties with handwriting, spelling, sentence writing, fluent writing, and/or revising and editing. The reasons for the challenges vary just as the characteristics of disabilities vary. Some students with disabilities struggle with the motoric aspects of writing while others struggle with the self-regulatory and cognitive aspects. The use of technology and assistive technology can improve student access and performance in writing. An interdisciplinary approach evaluating the barriers in writing, possible solutions, and progress with assistive technology implementation can create effective assistive technology solutions to increase writing achievement.
