Assessing Students Need for Assistive Technology

Assessing Students Need for Assistive Technology

This workshop will provide a framework for assessing a student’s need for assistive technology.  Every School district is required to insure that assistive technology devices and services are provided if needed by a student in order to receive a free appropriate public education.  BUT how does one assess the need for assistive technology?  This workshop will provide a framework for conducting the assessment and selecting appropriate tools to meet students need.  You will participate in a team process demonstrating  assessment strategies  to identify target tasks and tools for assistive technology implementation.  Bring along your own student examples or participate in sample student assessment scenarios.

Who should attend:  Assistive Technology Consultants, District based assistive technology teams, Occupational and Physical Therapists, Special Education Teachers, Speech and Language Pathologists

                                 Cost $ 195.00 Individual                Teams of 4 or more from district $ 175.00 each
