FM Systems • The FM system is an Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs) • The ALD brings sound to a child’s ear so they can hear better at school, home and other settings. • The FM system will help a child hear a teacher more clearly by cutting down background noises
• They can help a child hear in a large room and will make faraway sounds seem closer to them. • Teachers talk into a microphone, the microphone is connected to a transmitter and the transmitter sends sound to a receiver. • The receiver gets the sound and plays it to a head set or hearing aid device. Overall FM Systems can be benefit for any child to hear the delivery of information for any subject area being learned.
Switching Devices • Switches help individuals with physical disabilities to learn about cause-and-effect, timing, and helps them operate devices. • Switches can be used by students that are non verbal to communicate needs or a message or a student without mobility can verbally activate a switch device. • Messages can be recorded into device and when a student pushes the devices it will respond/repeat the recorded message.
• Switches can be activated by touch, dials, foot, sensitivity, hands free, and by voice • This can help a nonverbal student with communicating a need such as “I am hungry” when words can not be spoken. • Communication is crucial to achieve learning in all areas of the curriculum. • Switches are used everyday in our self-contained student with disabilities classroom in a controlled setting with special education teachers.
