Every IEP asks whether Assistive Technology is necessary to implement this IEP. In this seminar, we will discuss the foundation of AT evaluation and consideration, followed by some of the most common AT tools implemented in our schools and some of the challenges and strategies for effective AT implementation. During the seminar, we will share specific considerations and practices from multiple states across the US as examples. Learning objectives: 

1) The participants will gain an understanding of AT evaluation and consideration processes. 

2) The participants will discuss ways to include AT considerations during the IEP development. 

3) The participants will discuss specific AT implementation strategies from multiple states.
