Tools for Evaluation: Assistive Technology Tools Kits By: National Center for Technology Innovation and Center for Implementing Technology in Education (CITEd) (2006) When an individual is identified with a disability and assistive technology is recommended, where do you begin?1 An AT specialist and teacher might advise the use of specific tools. Families might be excited by the range of AT and ready to move forward. While AT tools are enhancing the field of special education, the specific recommendations need to be tailored to the particular individual. AT tool kits help alleviate the inconsistencies in evaluations by presenting specialists and instructors with processes to screen individuals and determine needs. Although AT tool kits aim to standardize the process of AT evaluation, there are many alternatives amongst the components.
