AT Assessment Process in the School Environment

Thus far on my AT journey, I have discussed AT, provided examples of AT and learned about UDL.  As another part of my Assisted Technology course, I recently completed a module called "AT Assessment Process in the School Environment".  This module reinforced a lot of the concepts that I've been learning and researching through my AT course.

Something that stuck out to me from this module was the AT feature match.  The AT feature match is a process by which the AT team/IEP team looks at a student's skills and needs and determines the features of AT related to those skills and needs.  Then the team can select an appropriate tool for the student to use.

This knowledge is important to me as an educator because everyday I am working with a diverse group of learners.  It is imperative for me to think about my students skills and needs every day and help my students find tools that will help them succeed in the classroom.  It is crucial for me to help my students experience success and avoid the feeling of frustration (as much as possible) because of a student's disability.  I enjoyed this module/topic and found the information to be applicable to many classrooms, as we all have students who learn differently.
