Serge from Babka<p>I have some pretty out-there ideas around assistive technology and learning disabilities.</p><p>For example, I believe all children should be taught phonics. This is the standard in most countries, but not in the US.</p><p>I believe that for children who have fine motor skill deficit, keyboards are great, but so are gliding pens, such as gel, or fountain pens.</p><p>I believe that for learning language, Esperanto can be an assistive technology, both for a foreign language, and even for someone who is struggling with English.</p><p>I think slide rules should make a return, and would ideally have a larger role than graphing calculators (are these still around?)</p><p>I think that privacy-respecting, FLOSS, and locally hosted AI can play a huge role in education, providing a host of services from explanations, to quizzing, to helping provide outlines and examples.</p><p><a href="https://babka.social/tags/Learning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Learning</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/AssistiveTechnology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AssistiveTechnology</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/LearningDisabilities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LearningDisabilities</span></a></p>

I have taken to calling him academically <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/disabled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disabled</span></a> instead of learning disabled, because it works better when I'm talking to him about him, and when I am advocating for him. </p><p>But because I don't have those same disabilities (our <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/neurodivergence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neurodivergence</span></a> overlaps in other ways but not those) I'm wondering how those of you with them feel about it.
