Document1 Page 1 of 3 Decision Needs are currently being met, and goals are being addressed, without assistive technology. Assistive Technology is not required at this time. It is anticipated that adequate progress cannot be made without the support of Assistive Technology. Assistive Technology is recommended by the team, and the team will explore the various options available to meet the needs of the student. Determining the Technology Device Guiding questions to consider when choosing a device. Has the student and the family been included in the AT process? Have the attitudes of towards technology for student, family and school personnel been considered? Does the student understand general concepts about computers? Can the student access the device and the recommended applications? Has the student’s motivation to use the device been considered? (ie. Reinforcers and a plan to reduce the reinforcers will be developed) Have the physical, cognitive, linguistic and time needed to use the device been considered? What are the focus, goals and objectives of the program (please see needs on page 1)? Will the device increase curriculum access or skills in the student’s next environment? (ie. Next grade, work program, post-secondary, etc.) Have environmental factors such as portability across settings, space and electrical outlets been addressed? Does the student have access to internet if the device is to be taken home? What activities does the student enjoy? What performance strengths and limitations should be considered and will be directly related to the use of device? What attempts will be made to reduce the stigma of the device, if necessary? New or additional assistive Technology to address continuing barriers Laptop Android iPad Other Responsible Parties Potential software to accompany the hardware Accessories required (such as a protective case, stylus, carry case) Document1 Page 2 of 3 Training with the Technology All school personnel who will interact with the student’s device will receive training on device operation and ways to incorporate the device into the student’s daily activities. Student will be trained to use the device including rationale for use and basic device maintenance. Student’s family members will be orientated to the device. Who will be responsible for the training? Notes and Timelines (after device arrives): Evaluation of the Technology On-going data will be collected to ensure that the device is meeting the needs of the student: Type of data and responsibility________________________________________________ Follow up meeting with the group: Is the device meeting the needs that it was originally intended for? Is the device being used consistently? If not, what strategies can be used to increase the use? Can the device be used for additional purposes? Is further training required for the device for students, school personnel, parents? Proposed Meeting Date: __________________________________ Document1 Page 3 of 3
