碩士 === 國立嘉義大學 === 特殊教育學系研究所 === 97 === This study aims to develop a framework of Reading Assistive Technology Toolkits through investigating the relationship between the reading difficulties, assistive reading strategies, and assistive technology categories. Eighteen experts , 9 from universities and 9 from resource programs, participated in the survey. There were two parts of the survey. The first one was used to rate the degree of the effectiveness of the assistive reading strategies on improving the specific reading difficulties; the second one was used to confirm the suitable reading technology categories for reading assistive strategies with the modified Delphi method. The results of the survey indicated that eleven of seventeen reading assistive strategies were rated as “very effective” or “effective” for improving the reading difficulties. Then these seventeen effective assistive reading strategies could be categorized into multi-sensory, cognitive supports, and inter-assist technology categories. Therefore, the framework of Reading Assistive Technology Toolkits consisted of six reading difficulties, eleven reading assistive strategies, and three reading technology categories.
