About the topic:
The presenter will cover the process for a needs assessment that addresses functional abilities and limitations in education performance areas. Participants will be able to describe the steps that need to be addressed during a needs assessment. The assessment of device features matched to the child’s ability will also be addressed as well as environmental factors that will affect the use of the technology. By the end of the workshop participants will be able to describe a four step process used to consider assistive technology in an education plan.
