Accessibility

 The video about Mike Phillips made me feel sympathy for him, as he struggled to adapt from being able to communicate and eat to being unable to do either, and his mother constantly taking care of him. His use of his thumb to click on a computer keyboard and facial expressions to convey meaning intrigued me. Overall, I believe Mike Phillips was an admirable person who chose not to let his condition negatively impact his life.


A type of assistive tech I have seen is teachers frequently use closed captioning for class videos, enabling everyone to hear and read the content. This assistive technology aids in concentrating and comprehending the content, making it a valuable tool for learning.


A type of accessibility I have used and seen on my phone is face ID. It's good to use face ID because it can be very helpful for people who may struggle to remember passwords or aren't able to type them in they can just scan their face to save time. 


One that I found in the UDL Toolkit was Audiobooks. Audiobooks can be used for students who have a hard time focusing or reading. This way a teacher can still assign a book and all students will be able to do work on it even if they have trouble reading.
