The assistive technology software I decided to review was Draft Builder, by Don Johnston. After completing the tutorial I learned that this is an easy AT software for students to use to guide them through the writing process. Some students with disabilities struggle to get their ideas on paper. Draft Builder allows students to use three separate tabs available at the top of the screen to outline their thoughts, add details to thoughts in the form of notes, and complete a draft. Students can organize their ideas and have their ideas read back to them or use the feature of word prediction. Students can drag their outline thoughts over to the notes tab to add more information in the form of sentences. To complete their draft they can drag and drop their notes to the draft page. Another convenient feature of this software is it guides the students in building their references in APA or MLA format to form their bibliography page. Below is a demonstration video to give you a better look at the software!
