Free AbleNet Webinar

"The Quality Indicators for Assistive Technology Services (QIAT) describe the characteristics of high-quality assistive technology services as they are provided in school settings. The eight service areas include: Consideration of AT Needs, Assessment of AT Needs, AT in the IEP, AT Implementation, Evaluation of Effectiveness of AT, AT in Transition, Administrative Support for AT, and AT Professional Development. For more than 15 years the indicators have been used in a variety of ways to assess assistive technology services and guide improvement efforts.

This AbleNet University webinar series will describe practical ways that parents, families and advocates; school districts and; state and regional programs use the QIAT Indicators and resources on behalf of children with disabilities who use assistive technology.

Session 3: Those in leadership positions at all levels use the Quality Indicators for Assistive Technology (QIAT) in various intentional ways to improve service provision. The Quality Indicators provide guidance in developing judicious and equitable policies and practices related to assistive technology services. Additionally in practical use, QIAT can be used as a self-assessment tool to develop improvement plans and plan for sustainable practices across service areas.
