An assistive technology evaluation includes:
A review of the student's educational history as provided by parents, teachers, therapists and school district personnel
An individualized evaluation by an educator/assistive technology specialist. This most often occurs at CATIES at The College of New Jersey but can be scheduled at the child's school under unique circumstances.
A written report with recommendations for assistive technology implementation. The report provides specific product information in order to assist the school district, agency or parent in implementing recommendations expeditiously.
Some sample outcomes for an assistive technology evaluation include identifying:
software to support a student's IEP goals.
specific technology tools to support a student's reading & writing.
technology-based strategies to accommodate a student who is a poor reader in the content areas.
a reliable method of gaining access to computers and the Internet for students with physical/sensory disabilities.
