What is an Assistive Technology Evaluation?
When Considering an Assistive Technology Evaluation:
The assistive technology assessment process as a team effort. The assistive technology evaluator should make recommendations based on your child’s unique need for accommodations, adaptations, devices, and services.
- Procedures for all aspects of AT assessment are clearly defined and consistently applied.
- AT assessments are conducted by a team with the collective knowledge and skills needed to determine possible AT solutions that address the needs and abilities of the student, demands of the customary environments, educational goals and related activities.
- All assistive technology assessments include a functional assessment in the student’s customary environments, such as the classroom, lunchroom, playground, home, community setting or workplace.
- Assistive technology assessments, including trials, are completed within reasonable timelines.
- Recommendations from assistive technology assessments are based on data about the student, environment and tasks.
- The assessment provides the IEP team with clearly documented recommendations that guide decisions about the selection, acquisition and use of AT devices and services. : Assistive technology needs are reassessed anytime changes in the student, the environments and/or the task result in the student’s needs not being met with current devices and/or services.
