Assistive Technology Evaluation Principles
1 . An assistive technology evaluation must be conducted by a professional, knowledgeable in regular and assistive technology.
2. Assistive technology evaluation is an extension of the Learning Media Assessment. You need basic reading and writing functioning found in the LMA, FVE, LVE, etc. to determine and evaluate appropriate assistive technology requirements.
3. Assistive technology evaluation must address the alternative and augmentative communication needs for students with multiple impairments.
4. To be effective, an assistive technology evaluation should be ongoing and looking 3 years in the future.
