This episode explores using assistive and instructional technologies to support student learning. Heather and Lathyrelle discuss how these tools go beyond apps and devices, highlighting simple yet powerful supports such as changing fonts or providing glasses. They emphasize the importance of universal design for learning, where strategies designed for one student can benefit many. The conversation dives into how behavior challenges can sometimes mask underlying academic struggles, and how creative use of technology can help reduce frustration and open learning opportunities.

Lathyrelle shares real-world stories that illustrate the need to think outside the box, collaborate with parents and teams, and value every resource—whether from professionals, families, or even students. The episode encourages educators to see technology as flexible, practical, and rooted in meeting real student needs.
