Assistive Technology (AT) Assessments help schools identify appropriate assistive technology solutions based on a student's individual needs, abilities, educational environment, and goals.
Westminster Technologies provides AT assessments for schools and educational teams as a one-time service or on a contractual basis. Assessments can be conducted onsite or remotely by video conference, giving schools flexible access to experienced assistive technology professionals.
OUR ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT PROCESS
Here's an overview of our assessment process:
Before the Assessment:
Our ATP will work with the school to prepare for the assessment, including:
- Gathering relevant information and coordinating the assessment.
- Obtaining a copy of the student's IEP, if not already provided.
- Scheduling the assessment date and time.
- Scheduling time to meet with the student's teachers and therapists.
- Obtaining the student's schedule for the assessment day.
- Providing any additional forms for teachers and therapists to complete before the assessment.
Assessment Day:
During the assessment, our ATP will:
- Observe the student in the classroom and other appropriate educational settings.
- Meet with teachers and therapists. This may include an IEP team meeting and/or separate meetings with team members who work directly with the student.
- Review relevant work samples provided by teachers and therapists.
After the Assessment:
Following the assessment, we provide the following support:
- The completed AT assessment report within one week of the assessment date. (Download sample reports here and here.)
- A minimum of three virtual follow-up meetings to help your team move through technology trials, data collection, and implementation.
- Our AT Implementation Guide and AT Trial Guide to support the process.
- Monthly consultation services are available after the report has been reviewed by the IEP team to provide continued support throughout the decision-making and implementation process.
