Assistive Technology Assessment Report

An Assistive Technology Assessment Report is a written document that summarizes the results of an evaluation of a student’s need for assistive technology devices or services to support their learning and participation in education. Assistive technology includes any item, piece of equipment, or product system that is used to increase, maintain, or improve the functional capabilities of a student with a disability. The assessment is typically conducted by a team of professionals, including special education teachers, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, and assistive technology specialists, and may involve observations, interviews, and trials of various devices or software. The report typically includes a description of the student’s strengths and needs, the specific assistive technology devices or services that are recommended, and a plan for implementing and monitoring their use. The Assistive Technology Assessment Report is an important tool for ensuring that students with disabilities have access to the tools and supports they need to fully participate in their education and achieve their potential.
