AT Decision Making Self-Assesment
AT Decision Making Self-Assesment
This self-assessment was developed to help a team figure out how to develop or improve the AT assessment process. The AT Decision Making Self Assessment helps a team review their respective attitudes, decision-making process, and team dynamics. Using it facilitates useful discussion of underlying differences that can interfere with team function if not addressed. Brought to you by our friends at the Coalition for Assistive Technology in Oregon.

QIAT Indicators - AT Consideration
QIAT Indicators - AT Consideration
The Quality Indicators for Assistive Technology include the specific quality indicators that were developed by focus groups and validated through research, intent statements that further explain each indicator, and a list of common errors for each of the eight areas. Consideration of the need for AT devices and services is an integral part of the educational process contained in IDEA for referral, evaluation, and IEP development. Although AT is considered at all stages of the process, the Consideration Quality Indictors are specific to the consideration of AT in the development of the IEP as mandated by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). In most instances, the Quality Indicators are also appropriate for the consideration of AT for students who qualify for services under other legislation (e.g., 504, ADA).

A Guide to Adaptations
In this document, STEMIE defines and describes an evidence-based inclusion framework and provides definitions and examples of adaptations that adults can use to ensure young children with disabilities can participate fully in STEM learning experiences. STEMIE uses adaptations to ensure each and every child, including young children with disabilities, can fully participate and engage in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) learning opportunities and experiences at home, in early childhood programs, and in the community.
