Another module I completed on the Assistive Technology
Internet Modules website was the AT Consideration in the IEP Process.
In this module, the most important thing I found is the
process for consideration for AT within the IEP process. Before AT can be considered, the IEP team
must “clearly identify the unique needs of the student and identify the tasks
to be performed in the educational program” (OCALI, 2014). Another important aspect for the AT
consideration team is to ask questions about the student and their
characteristics in the classroom. Such
questions include if the student needs AT to meaningfully participate in the
classroom and what is expected of the student that they are currently unable to
do and how AT would solve this problem.
This information is useful when I am a teacher because if I
suspect a student is having trouble and may be AT, then I will be able to bring
my knowledge of the student to the team meeting.
