Abstract. Assistive Technology Tools: Writing. There is a wide range of assistive technology (AT) tools available to help students who struggle with writing.
Some of these tools help students circumvent the actual physical task of writing, while others facilitate proper spelling, punctuation, grammar, word usage, and organization. AT tools that assist with writing fall into several categories: Abbreviation expanders Used with word processing, these software programs allow a user to create, store, and re-use abbreviations for frequently-used words or phrases.
