Blog Post 12 AT Early Childhood
AT For Early Childhood
What are some considerations when selecting AT for early childhood?
It must accommodate children from birth to three years old. Considering
the child’s developmental delays, home situation, inclusiveness and natural
environments. While focusing on making the AT playful, mobile, possible computer
accessible, and incorporating language, literacy and communication. Which all
combines to the students needs, modifications and adaptions with the environment.
What is one tool you found to be useful?
The PVC phone also know as a phonic pone.I found can be very effective for students in
early childhood, who need assistive technology
How would you implement this tool?
It could be implanted for a student who has speech delay. During
reading time, it can help by having them hear what they are saying in, exploring
new sounds when they are reading aloud and is still a playful form of
interaction because all children love to play telephone. It also allows
practice with phonics and pronunciation.
Where would you find this tool? What is the cost?
This tool is very easy to make but can also be found on oriental
trading website. Pricing can range from $5-$35. If you want to get it specialized
Esty does it as well. I attached a video on a DIY (do it yourself), PVC phone (phonic phone) and a link to buy
the item.

to Early Childhood Technical Assistive Center.
