With the correct training, the use of AT in an individuals family routine will be more substantial. This training has to be done by the teachers and I believe in certain circumstances can be also done by the individuals parents or caretakers to ensure that there is consistency in the use of the device.

AT provides independence for students with disabilities. I believe this also increases a student's motivation and confidence because they are now able to do things they weren't before. This was the first time I learned about the SETT method, but I think this is a great way when considering what AT to implement in the classroom/at home for a child!

Allowing the students with disabilities to use their assistive technology in the classroom with allow the student to be more proactive and independent in their learning. Teachers can learn how the assistive technology works and help students become more fluent in the use of the assistive technology making it easier for the student to learn to their best ability.

I think the use of AT along promotes independence for the student. It is something that the child is able to use alone and with some to little guided direction.

I believe that using AT in a classroom of students with any kind of disability gives them independence. Technology provides endless possibilities and they can do things they have never been able to do on they own before.

Using assistive technology in the classroom can increase independence and the ability to manage student’s own behavior. This can go a long way beyond the classroom. Students can use these skills in society. Assistive technology improves the lives of persons with disabilities and utilizing it can increase student’s self- management skills and augments their individual strengths.

I think that when teachers use AT devices it helps them better understand and how the students is learning which can in return it helps browned the teachers learning and development.

I believe one of the main reasons why assistive technology is so important is because it gives people the freedom to learn, perform otherwise physically challenging tasks, read, and other day to day activities with much more ease so that they can focus on what really matters as opposed to how they are going to get there. So teachers use AT as a strategy to encourage proactivity by sampling giving the students the chance to use AT and properly training them so that they can use it to its full potential.

AT can be used to help students become proactive in their development and learning because it gives them independence whether that be independent with communication, movement, and working on any given assignment in class.

Teachers can use AT for students with disabilities to become more proactive in their learning by using SETT. First understanding the students abilities, limitations, interest, dislikes, etc. Then thinking about the environment the student is in. Followed by the task at hand and what tool best fits.

Learning about "Spray and Pray" was a first for me. Aside from that, properly using AT devices for students can be very helpful in their learning experience.

‘Spray’ on the technology and then ‘pray’ that you get an increase in learning.” Providing students who have disabilities with the most dazzling devices in the world will not make a difference in their lives—unless the initiative integrates the technology into the curriculum and addresses the details of implementation.

I think as an educator I cannot think of a time I "sprayed and prayed" on anything. This concept is so foreign to me, because I like to always be prepared for anything. I can see how bringing in the latest technology could be a neat thing to do, but if it is not going to benefit the student in any way then it is just another way we are misusing resources available to us.
