Accessible Educational Materials (AEM) and Assistive Technologies (AT) in Early Childhood Education: What, Why, and How
2024
Description
In early childhood education, ensuring that all students, including those with disabilities, can access and engage with learning materials is a pivotal aspect of educational equity and inclusion. Accessible Educational Materials (AEM) and Assistive Technologies (AT) are central to this endeavor, providing essential resources that accommodate diverse learning needs (CAST, 2023). This paper explores the use of AEM and AT supports in inclusive early childhood settings by explaining what they are, why they are crucial for fostering inclusive learning environments, and how they can be implemented effectively.
