Watch This…<br />

Enabling Dreams<br />

To see just how important <strong>as</strong>sistive technology can be<br />

for those with disabilities, watch the Edutopia video<br />

entitled “Enabling Dreams”.<br />

In this video, you’ll meet several students who, with<br />

hard work, determination, and the support of their<br />

teams, have used <strong>as</strong>sistive technology to reach their<br />

individual potentials. These stories help you see that<br />

AT implementation is a long but rewarding experience.<br />

If this link does not work for you – go to YouTube (www.youtube.com) and type “Enabling<br />

Dreams” in the search field to find the video.<br />

My thoughts after viewing the video…<br />

I would encourage others on my team to watch this video…<br />

Definitely! Maybe Probably not<br />

Think about this…<br />

Think about your own school or team situation – refer to the conditions described in the<br />

presentation and look at how each supports OR acts <strong>as</strong> a barrier to AT implementation with<br />

students.<br />

Module 3 Final Activity<br />

Seven Steps to Success!<br />

Think about your role on the school b<strong>as</strong>ed team and how you will support the seven steps<br />

for effective AT implementation. Think about specific t<strong>as</strong>ks in each step – for example, in<br />

the first step “Gather Information”, will you actually collect information about the student and<br />

environment or will you provide the necessary forms for the team members to use? Be<br />

specific about what you will do…<br />

Step Description My Role<br />

Gather relevant information<br />

Establish IEP goals<br />

Conduct AT trials<br />

Identify AT solution<br />

Develop Implementation Plan<br />

Adapt lessons for AT integration<br />

Follow up and plan transition<br />
