AT Assessment Process In The School

This module helped me understand what the main objective of AT assessments are. This is to identify technology alternatives that will accommodate the individual needs of students with disabilities. When a student is considered for AT there usually is one of three outcomes. 1- AT is not needed, 2- AT is needed, and the team knows how, when, and where the AT will be provided, or 3- AT is needed, but the team needs more information before making a decision.

Moving forward in the field,  I think it is important to have a clear picture of what the students needs as well as their abilities are before considering pieces of AT that will be an effective match in accommodating them. It is imperative to get thoughts from all team members especially the family or student them self. An AT specialist only specializes in assistive technology not each individual student.
