What is the difference between EBIT and Assistive Technology (AT)?
Simply put, “accessible education-based information technology” is simply information technology that has inherent functions, properties, and the potential to be used by people with a wide range of abilities and disabilities. Examples of “accessible information technology” can include computer towers with front-mounted headphone jacks and ports, electronic devices which allow the user to increase the screen resolution, operating systems which support screen enlargement and text-to speech capabilities, voice mail and messaging systems, and copier/fax machines which allow for users to interface and function with the device without the use of touch or sight. On the other hand, “assistive technology” is technology (software, hardware) which helps people with specific disabilties maximize their abilties to access information or services. Examples of “assistive technology” include text-to-speech software, screen enlarging software, alternative-output hardware, large-print keyboards, as well
