Overview:
“I need an iPad!” If you are an Assistive Technology Evaluator, we are sure you have heard that statement too many times to count. With the explosion of mobile devices and apps, people can sometimes forget the PROCESS and just focus on the TOOL. Join us for this webinar as we discuss the evaluation process from start to finish. Using the Fundamental Assessment Process (FAP), we will explore all the areas that make up quality assessment.
Learning Objectives:
1. Participants will learn the steps of the Fundamental Assessment Process
2. Participants will identify and apply the importance of the evaluative process with matching devices/features to individual needs.
3. Participants will gain a model and resources to support their learning and implementation of the Fundamental Assessment Process.
