**Rescheduled session from February 16, 2021 to March 2, 2021.**
This is an online session.
In this workshop, we will use the Quality Indicators for Assistive Technology (QIAT) to examine the eight areas of Assistive Technology (AT) Programs with a focus on determining current district policies, procedural guidelines, and programmatic implementation. Participants will use the resources for decision making regarding formalization and improvement of current practice.
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. The eight areas are all important to the development and delivery of assistive technology services and include: Consideration of Assistive Technology (AT) Needs, Assessment of AT Needs, AT in the Individualized Education Program (IEP), AT Implementation, Evaluation of Effectiveness of AT, AT in Transition, Administrative Support for AT, and AT Professional Development.
