      Adaptive technologies can help and support learners in many ways. They can be used to support students who may have a learning disability or those who may not process as fast as others. Giving a child tools to stay on track with their peers can be so beneficial just beyond in the classroom. By allowing children to use technology can build their self confidence and provide them the skills to get work done in a timely manner. I do not know of anyone personally who has needed adaptive technology. However, my aunt who is a teacher has had kids who need adaptive technology and her stories of how they flourish with it is amazing.
       Using adaptive technology can be a good thing for those who need it be can be a distraction to those who do not need it. Making sure that the technology is not distracting others around them could be a challenge that it poses, as well as making sure that students aren't jealous of those who have are using adaptive technology. Making sure that whatever the class is doing has a technology friendly version for those who need it can also be a challenge. The last biggest thing is to make sure that the students who are allowed access to the technologies are using it responsibly and not abusing the power.
