Student, Environments, Tasks and Tools
Involves the identification and consideration of the student (strengths, needs, preferences; the environments in which the student functions and the tasks the student is expected to lrtfktm
Matching Person and Technology
Suggests that Assistive Technology devices or tools should match with the students (strengths, challenges, attitudes, and interests), work within the students contexts and fit the students tasks
Wisconsin Assistive Technology Initiative
An assessment system to help identify the types of technology that may benefit students with various disabilities, based on each students individual abilities and challenges, Environments and tasks
University of Kentucky Assistive Technology Toolkit
Provider resources in the form of worksheet-like pages for an IEP team to complete in order to guide the team through assistive technology decision making
National Assistive Technology Research Institute Assistive Technology Planner
Can be used by teachers, parents, and students to actively participate in assistive technology planning and decision making on an IEP team
