Resources for Effective Implementation of AT

In keeping with my most recent post, I decided to continue my search for suggestions on how to effectively implement AT in classrooms and at home. In order for students to fully develop their skills and increase independence, they need to be able to use their devices at home as well as in the classroom. This means that parents need to play an active role in helping their children use the AT.

The Special Education Technology of British Columbia has a website that provides information to help teachers and parents through the process of introducing and using AT effectively. The website has a page called Making It Work: Effective Implementation of Assistive Technology. This page offers tips and suggestions for guiding individuals through using AT.

The resources on the page include books, websites, images to model AT use and implementation.
