1. Explain how using assistive technology can promote healthy emotional and social development. Discuss how you think young children and teens may be affected and how the affects may extend into adult life

Verified Answer :

There are multiple advantages to
using assistive technology. On an Emotional factor, it builds up the self-confidence
of children w/ disability; they will be to do more and will be able to reach
their full potential and makes them more independent. On a Social development
factor, it helps them to be able to communicate, express and relate to people.
This gives them the opportunity to be able to socialize and be part of the
society. Highlighting these advantages, as a kid with disability, I think he/she
will be able to achieve his goals in life as he grows old as he/she will be
able to attend regular education and will be able to cope on how to handle
his/her daily life. He/she will not be left out in her teen years as she is
able to communicate with people with ease using the AT. And as an adult he will
be more independent on managing his daily life.
