AT Modules!

Hopefully you got a chance to check out the amazing site in my last post! Below I summarized the 3 modules I thought were most helpful to me and maybe they were to you as well!

AT Assessment Process in the School-  important to know that all students done  by a team to make sure the correct device is chosen and how it will be used, and it then is included in the student's IEP. The SETT framework is so important and useful in helping to determine the correct device and it's so "student centered" that it is easy to follow straight to the AT help a student needs! It's important to be knowledgeable in this area as a teacher, because better understanding of the process results in smoother, more accurate results for the student!

AT Consideration in the IEP Process- many people involved in the process, a team is made to help the individual gain access to the correct device for the right need. Must be included in IEP. It's important to know when and how to go about choosing the right AT for a student.

Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)- takes time, but can be helpful for a variety of needs and students. It's cost effective and it's important to learn about because so many children with writing and speaking needs can benefit from this.

 


What were you favorite pieces of information from the modules you have evaluated?
