ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY Access for All Students
Linda Johnston University of Tennessee at chattanooga/ Lawrence A. Beard Jacksonville state University / Laura Bowden Carpenter Auburn University Montgomery (2007) Merrill Prentice Hall, Ohio
米国におけるAssistive Technologyについて書かれている本書を，翻訳をしていく．海外の先行研究を捉えながら，教育の情報化で掲げられている特別支援教育のAssistive Technologyを考えていく．特に，第6章では，コミュニケーション障害における代替支援（Augmentative Alternative Communication)について述べられており，ICTを活用したAssistive Technology研究において，参考になる先行事例を多く含む．第8章では，小学校，中学校におけるAssistive Technologyによる特別支援教育を考察する．さらに，第9章では，遠隔による学習のあり方が述べられており，今後のインターネットやコンピューターなどのICT活用の特別支援教育でのポイントを考えていく．
以下Amazonより内容説明引用
This new book is organized around the theme of universal design and discusses how assistive technology can help educators meet the needs of individuals with disabilities. Based on the field’s most current research and latest laws and regulations, this book examines assistive technology for young children, high incidence disabilities, positioning and mobility, communication, sensory impairments, distance learning and more. Ethical standards of practice and multicultural issues are also considered throughout. The book addresses a variety of settings and discusses how assistive technology can be used not only in the school, but also in the home, community, work place and independent living environment.
本書は，ユニバーサルデザインをテーマに構成され，障害をもつ個別支援を必要とする学習者をどのように助けるかについて述べられている．Assistive Technologyの先行研究，最新の法律，規則に基づいて，子ども，障害，位置づけ，可動性，障害と学習，コミュニケーション，遠隔学習などをトピックに，Assistive Technologyを総覧する．また倫理基準や多用な文化差についても述べられている．学校だけでなく，家庭，地域，職場など，障害者の自立活動の場での，有効なAssistive Technologyが示されている．（筆者訳）
