In reply to @KarenJan

Shaun_SLP Mar 29 @ 8:10 PM EDT

#atchat A1) I generally use an eclectic approach that involves SETT analysis, feature matching, observation(s), AAC genie, and more.

VickiBostonSLP Mar 29 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1: partially- there's nothing standardized that yields useful info. But I've found some good info gathering tools to use w/in SETT #ATchat

HI Lori here from Massachusetts A1: I use the same as Mike but still find them lacking with complex needs students. #ATchat

Q2: Ss with complex needs require a multidisciplinary approach. How do you ensure they have access to the AT they need? #ATchat

wernedat Mar 29 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1: go on IEP goals, switch access guide from UK, use software to see what abilities they have 1st; every move counts/comm matrix #ATChat

A2 It should be a TEAM based decision with all members contributing based on area of expertise in regard to needs of ind. Ss #atchat

Shaun_SLP Mar 29 @ 8:22 PM EDT

#atchat A2) Making sure those involved have required skills to provide support, and if not, make sure they get the required training.

VickiBostonSLP Mar 29 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A2: school culture that allows for common planning time & collaboration more often than the 1x/year IEP meeting is key. #atchat

KarenJan - Moderator Mar 29 @ 8:23 PM EDT

Q3 When making AT recommendations we emphasize “presume competence.” What does that look like with your teams? #ATchat
