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 Teaching Practices
Teaching strategies are practices used by adults (e.g., family members, practitioners) or, in some instances, by other children to help facilitate children’s participation in everyday routines, learning experiences, and activities. Using these strategies engages children in activities, maintains their interest, and provides opportunities for them to learn concepts and thinking skills that support STEM learning when using adaptations

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.

Early Childhood Mathematics Series: Session 1 - Sets, Sorting & Patterns with Beth Poss
This three-part series will help educators understand the development of conceptual mathematical skills, how to build a foundation for mathematical thinking, and how to adapt mathematics instruction to make it accessible and meaningful to early math learners. Participants will gain an understanding of
the progression of math skill development in young learners, and how to foster this in students
with disabilities. We will examine how exploration with a variety of physical and digital
resources can aid in the understanding of mathematical concepts, and how to provide
adaptations for students with a range of disabilities. Learn how everyday routines and
activities can build the foundations of mathematics competence in young children.
Sets, Sorting, and Patterns
An understanding of sets is one of the key foundational skills that children need in order to
develop higher level number sense and number and operations skills. This session will explain
what developing an understanding of sets means and how to make exploratory play with
sets and explicit instruction accessible to children with varied developmental needs. Learn
how families and educators can incorporate work with sets across everyday activities as a way
to increase foundational mathematical knowledge.
