 Assistive Technology |
At Barrington 220, we are committed to providing our students with special needs with the tools needed to promote independence in their area(s) of need. We have created consideration forms to assist teams with the Assisitve Technology (AT) consideration process. It is important to look at the student's individual needs and begin with low tech items first. AT Handbook- Each of our schools have an AT Handbook to assist them with the AT consideration process. The handbook includes our district's AT Consideration Flow Chart, our SETT forms (Student Environment Tasks Technology) and Follow Up forms, a continuum of tool ideas to trial in each academic area, and so much more!
