Assistive Technology Center

The Assistive Technology Center provides comprehensive assessment and consultation in the areas of augmentative communication and assistive technology.  Depending on the needs of the local district, a team consisting of a RESNA certified occupational therapist, a speech therapist, a teacher of the handicapped or a learning consultant is available to provide evaluation, consultation or ongoing assessment.  The Center maintains a comprehensive library of assistive technology and augmentative communication devices.  These may be loaned out on a short-term basis as part of ongoing assessment, or may be leased by local districts for longer-term sole use by a student.  Staff also provides inservice training for local districts in the use of assistive technology.   When a piece of equipment is leased by a school district, staff from the AT Center provides parents and LEA staff with comprehensive care and use training.
