The Assistive Technology Team

Implementing an AT plan in the classroom requires many perspectives and various funds of knowledge; therefore a team approach is critical to the success of any such plan. The size and composition of teams will often vary depending available resources and specific needs of the student.

Teachers connecting to an AT virtual team via the Internet allows for quick access to information, contributions from a remarkably broad range of professionals, and perspectives that may not have been considered. The Quality Indicators for Assistive Technology Services (QIAT) website is a great option for teachers interested in utilizing the benefits of a virtual team. By subscribing to the QIAT Listserv, teachers will immediately be able to have their questions regarding AT answered. Also available is the option of searching previous conversations by searching topic keywords.
