Assistive Technology Planning Tool

How many times have you worked with an IEP team to determine appropriate AT for a student, purchased it and then discovered that it was never used; it's still in the box because no one got the training; etc.?
The National Assistive Technology Research Institute (NATRI) has developed the Assistive Technology Planner to help IEP teams to monitor the status of the assistive technology used with individual students, as well as who is responsible for training, maintenance and evaluation. Just think, if the planner followed the student throughout his school career, educators and families would be able to make more informed decisions about the assistive technology needs of the student. The planner will be available through the Technology and Media Division (TAM) of CEC at http://www.tamcec.org
