Forms to Guide AT Transitions

The EducationTech Point for Transition comes into play as individuals with disabilities move from class to class, school to school, or from school to community living.  Without a plan about how assistive technology will be used in a new environment,  assistive technology skills and assistive technology use may be lost in the move.  Here are a variety of forms to guide transitions for people who use AT. They have varying levels of specificity to help your plan with your AT Team.

• Charting my course to Successful Transition- Click here to download  Charting My Course to Successful Transition,  a form to help students and teams plan for a successful transition that includes AT.
• Hey Can I try that?-A free, downloadable workbook for students who use assistive technology.  Hey! Can I try that? uses an interview format to help students articulate their interests and desires around the use of AT.  It is a useful tool in helping students to develop the self-determination skills around AT use that they will need as they move from school services to the community or higher education.  Hey Can ITry That (2017 version) is also available in Spanish.
• Quality Indicators for Assistive Technology in Post Secondary Education (QIAT-PS)-An offshoot of the original QIAT project,  the QIAT-PS project addresses the characteristics of high quality AT services at the college and university level.  In addition to the QIAT-PS indicators for campuses,  the project offers a set of Student Quality Indicators which describes the skills that a student will need in order to succeed with AT in a post-secondary educational environment. Both the campus and student indicators are available in a self-evaluation matrix.
