AT Policy & Procedures - P3 by Dr_P-K https://padlet.com/gpeters/AT_admin_procedure AT Consideration Administrative Procedures en-us 2017-06-15 14:59:39 UTC 2017-06-23 23:19:47 UTC hello@padlet.com Table 1 https://padlet.com/gpeters/AT_admin_procedure/wish/177324873 At the annual IEP meeting, the team will consider the student's need for AT by doing the following:
* Present Levels:
          * Identify the discrepancies between student's current functional performance compared to the student's peers or grade level performance in the following areas:
               * Literacy:
                       *listening vs. reading comprehension; transcription modes/qualities/accuracy
               * Mathematics: computation
               * Personal Management: organization of time/resources/equipment
               * Sensory
         * State the AT tools and/or services that the student is currently using along with any data collected indicating the effectiveness of the intervention. 

* Goals:
          * Discuss how assistive technology can be used to help the student meet his/her goals (document the intended use in the additional notes section).
          * If AT is currently being utilized, it should be included in the IEP goal as a condition.
                 * When writing goals goals and objectives, reading instruction will NOT include the use of AT. Content areas instruction MAY include AT.
          *Propose/create new functional.transition goals to address areas of deficit.
                  * consider how to transfer AT to post-high school
                  * consider how AT is used to address transition goals.

*Accommodations:
         * Assess the previous use of accommodations to ascertain if the
            accommodations is actually a form of AT (document in the
            Additional Notes Page).
         * Assess effectiveness of previous accommodations (document on the Additional Notes Page).   
               * What could be done differently?     
         * Create AT Plan (attach as an additional document to the IEP)
               * Include information about training, maintenance, transitions,
                  how it will be implemented, evaluation of effectiveness/data
                  collection, duration of plan, and responsible parties)
         * If AT is currently being utilized, the IEP team decides if the student will continue use, discontinue use, or determine new AT (documented on the Additional Notes Page)

  • During Present Levels, the team will review the student's present levels related to academic performance and functional performance. 
    • State the discrepancy between the student's current level of performance and expected level of performance in
      • academics
      • personal management
      • manipulation/mobility
      • sensory functioning (hearing/vision)
    • State the assistive technology tools and/or services currently being utilized and data including effectiveness of the intervention. 
  • Goals and Objectives
    • The team will consider whether AT can be used to help meet the goals
    • If AT is determined by the team to help meet a specific goal, the AT tool or service will be written into the goal or objective
    • When writing goals and objectives, reading instruction will not include the use of assistive technology. Content area instruction may include assistive technology. 
  • Educational Accommodations and Supports 
    • Consideration of Special Factors
      • Check the boxes to indicate if the student requires any supplementary aids and/or services due to Assistive Technology devices and services. If you check the “yes box”, proceed to the provided box to list the technology devices and services.
      • The IEP team must consider the student’s functional capabilities and determine whether they may be increased, maintained, or improved through the use of AT devices or services in order to provide the student with FAPE. The team will discuss and utilize knowledge, skills, and information already obtained about the student. This decision is to be documented in the student’s IEP and the AT is to be integrated into the student’s educational program.
    • Supplementary Aids, Accommodations, and Modifications
      • The IEP team must assess the previous use of accommodations to ascertain if the accommodation is actually a form of assistive technology and how effective the past accommodations have been.

*Present levels: 
·Review present levels of academic (reading, writing, math) and functional performance. Include strengths and areas needing improvement.  How are students performing using their accommodations?
· Determine discrepancy between student's performance and grade level peers. Could assistive technology improve a student’s performance? If so, include data.
· Consider and document strengths and areas needing improvement in life skills, personal management, sensory functioning, and social/emotional learning. 

GOALS: 
 · Consider how AT could be used to meet current goals. Consider utilizing content area subjects to meet assistive technology goals. 

ACCOMMODATIONS: 
·  Write classroom accommodations including assistive technology.  
·   Check box on accommodation page to indicate need for AT. 
Can a student’s ability improve with assistive technology accommodations? 
Go to additional notes page to include the information below; 
What do you want to do with the student? 
Create a short term evaluation or/and implementation plan (who does what to whom & when)

  • Present Levels
  • Academic/Functional
  • Goals
    • Propose/create new functional/transition goals to address areas of deficit 
      • consider how to transfer AT to post-high school
      • consider how AT is used to address transition goals
    • how AT can be used to help a student achieve their IEP goals
  • Document decisions made
  • Accommodations
    • Discuss current accommodations and what changes need to be made, if any
    • If AT is determined necessary, heck 'yes' box on student's IEP
    • Document what will be used for AT
      • In Additional Notes:  decide who will be in charge of implementing the AT and checking on progress with the use of the chosen AT
    • If additional training is needed, check the box 'yes' and document training needed
  • Assessment Accommodations
  • Need for AT
  • Minutes/Placement/Use of AT
  • Transition Planning
