Assisted Technology for kids with Learning Disabilities is defined as any device, piece of equipment or system that helps bypass, work around or compensate for an individual’s specific learning deficits. Having a visual or aural aid which is consistent can empower a child in working independently. A spokesman for Autism Speaks says “What technology does is simplify interaction. Interaction with an app is always the same whereas with individuals it is more complex.” The programs offered by YMI are perfectly suited for children with learning disabilities.
