University of Kentucky's AT Toolkit - Another Great Resource!


In my last post, I blogged about a resource for educator's to use when making the determination of AT for a student with an IEP.  This blog looks at yet another resource put out by the University of Kentucky (see link below).  What I like about their toolkit is that first there is an introductory powerpoint that in less than 30 slides goes over each of the steps for determining the need, choice and implementation of AT.   http://serc.gws.uky.edu/www/ukatii/toolkit/index.html

Also, the website has clear and easy to use forms.  One form focuses on the actual implementation of AT.  (Link to form: http://serc.gws.uky.edu/www/ukatii/toolkit/AT_Implementation.pdf)  

I have found a lot of info on determining if there is a need and how that need can be met for AT.  This is a new form for me and I like it as it sets up (among other things). 

1. Who is responsible for acquiring the AT device (can be more than one person)
2. Who is responsible for making sure that all parties are trained in its use
3. Who is responsible for maintaining and repairing the device.

Having such a form makes clear to all involved who to go to for different needs related to the actual implementation of AT for students with IEPs.
