Location

Platinum 7  

Description

The project is a collaboration of Alternate Media and Assisitive Technology Specialists at 7 California institutions; Saddleback College, Cerritos College, El Camino College, Chaffey College, Glendale College, Napa Valley College and Cal State Northridge, who developed the Assistive Technology Assessment Tool. The Assistive Technology Assessment Tool is student-focused at its core, and built to record, track and report out, with data points, a student’s Technology Readiness, Disability, Learning Style, Content Delivery Methods, Access Barrier(s), Assistive Technology (AT) proposed solution and training schedule. The use of this internal form is to assist the AT Specialist, Alternate Media Specialist and DSPS departments in tracking AT solutions to access barriers and student use, deployment of AT resources, identifying trends, informing procurement and supporting the student with data-driven solutions.

Learn how this group came together and leveraged their years of experience working with students of all disabilities to find innovated solutions through the use of assistive technology and developed the tool that has provided insight into how assistive technology is delivered on campuses, how student solutions and training is tracked, how the data produced can be used, and how you can use it at your institution too!
