In this article, it gives many examples of assistive tools that people can use if they have trouble with computing, organizing, aligning, and copying math problems down on paper. The first example they give is electronic worksheets. These are software programs that can help the learner organize and work through problems on a computer screen.This is especially helpful for people who have trouble aligning problems on a normal piece of paper. Another tool is a paper-based computer pen, this tool records and plays audio of what the student writes using the pen and special paper. The learner can than go back and listen to any part of their notes later on. The next tool they talk about in this article is a talking calculator. This tool has a built in speech synthesizer that can record and speak aloud any symbol or operation key that the user touches.

All of these tools will be helpful with students who need extra help organizing ideas, memorizing things, and reading/comprehension. They will be able to understand concepts better and learn in a way that is helpful to them.
