Assistive Technology and Transition

A new section on this blog has resources for considering AT and Transition. There's a powerpoint presentation and two guides that can be printed. These materials were adapted from a presentation by WATI (Wisconsin Assistive Technology Initiative) Canfield and Reed. The guides are an excellent way to determine additional skills a student will need as they transition from the K-12 environment.

Research shows that even students successfully using assistive technology in school are not using their AT after graduation.
