Considering AT is a critical component of the IEP process. The following posts are going to discuss AT and Writing, such as writing/reading challenges of students with disabilities, and useful tools and resources for educators.
Consideration of AT is a collaborative process in which the IEP team determines whether AT devices or services are needed for the student to access the general eduction curriculum or to meet IEP goals.
AT devices were discussed in previous posts and are intended to help students' learning. AT services directly assists a student with the selection, acquisition or use of an AT device. However, before a device is placed into a classroom, the IEP team needs to evaluate what device will best serve the student.
As a teacher, I am working towards my special education certification. I know there will be a time I am faced with challenges in regards to IEPs and using AT. Therefore, it's important for me to be knowledgeable about the IEP process and how AT can be beneficial to a student.
The next posts are going to focus on how AT considerations during the IEP process can help meet the goals for the student. Let's take a look at some examples of IEPs with the use AT.

Rose,
ReplyDeleteI agree that choosing AT is a critical part of the IEP process and should be collaborative between all members of the IEP team. Working as a team throughout this process will allow for more feedback and give the best options for the student at need of the AT device.
