Step One – Gathering Information
What online resources will you use again to help you learn more about implementing assistive
technology (list any sites you will use in the future).
Step Two – Establish Goals
Think about this upcoming year and create some short and long term goals to help build your
capacity for implementing assistive technology with students.
Short term goals (1-3 months)
Long term goals (4-12 months)

Step Three – Conduct AT Trials
What assistive technologies will you try with your students this year? Why are you interested in
these technologies specifically?
Step 4 – Identify Assistive Technology Solutions
List at least two of the assistive technologies that you learned about that would help support
these students:

Students who struggle with reading / writing:

Students who struggle with math:

Students who have physical difficulties:

Students who have visual impairments:

Students who have difficulty communicating:
Step 5 – Develop Assistive Technology Implementation Plan
For these steps in the AT implementation plan, indicate what your role would be:
1. Gathering information:
2. Establishing IEP goals:
3. Conducting AT trials:

4. Identifying AT solutions:
5. Developing the AT Implementation Plan:
6. Adapting Lessons for AT integration:
7. Planning for Follow up and Transition:
Step 6 – Adapting Lessons for AT Integration
You will be working with different types of educators and different levels of support. Describe
how you will try and make sure the technology is integrated into your students’ daily classroom
lessons – what will you do to make sure the technology is actually used?
