What struck me in this learning
module was the types of services that Assistive Technology devices might
require. Services could include something
as simple as having a homeroom teacher turn on the FM listening system and
check if it is working, or the IEP team could have the ability to consult with
a technology specialist as needed. When
developing an IEP with AT, these services should be considered carefully so the
technology can be implemented effectively.
Also, the module kept emphasizing
the need for a team approach in considering AT in the IEP process. Every person has something valuable to add;
it's not just about the technology.
Different members of the team know different strengths and needs of the
child, and they also know the environment the child will be in when using
AT. All of this is important information
for deciding on AT.
This website http://www.atinternetmodules.org/mod_view.php?nav_id=1789
has excellent resources for the SETT process as well as the IEP process. It's a resource I hope to use!
