The IU19 Assistive Technology Process offers 4 options when looking at Assistive Technology for a student…

Option A: The team requires a SETT meeting to occur due to the complexity of the student’s needs. A collaborative meeting will
occur with the entire team to assist in multiple layers of access for Assistive Technology. With option A, two observations by IU AT
Consultants will occur. The team will then meet to discuss multiple layers of Assistive Technology that would be beneficial for the
student. IU AT Consultants will be available to then assist in acquiring devices for trial periods. IU AT Consultant will schedule
classroom consults and classroom trainings for the devices, if needed. The IU AT Consultant will be available for one-on-one work with
the student and the assistive technology being trialed. IU AT Consultants will be available for data collection consultations and
assistance.

Option B: The team is aware of what the student needs are pertaining to Assistive Technology. The team has some understanding
of Assistive Technology but would like the IU AT Contact to consult on options and possibilities. The IU AT Consultant will observe the
student and meet with the teacher/staff/other to look at possible options pertaining to Access/AAC Assistive Technology. IU AT
Consultants will then assist in acquiring devices for trial periods. IU AT Consultant will schedule classroom consults and classroom
trainings for the devices, if needed. The IU AT Consultant can be available for one-on-one work with the student and the assistive
technology being trialed. IU AT Consultants can be available for data collection consultations and assistance.

Option C: The team has a clear understanding of what assistive technology device/service is needed. The team would like to use the
IU AT Consultant to acquire loan devices for trials. IU AT Consultants will be available to assist in pulling from state-wide lending
libraries or, if available, lending an item from the IU19 Lending Library. If the team decides to borrow from the IU19 Lending Library,
they will choose option C and state what device they are borrowing on page 3. The IU Consultant can be available for classroom
consultation, one-to-one work with the student, or implementation. No prior observations will be necessary. IU AT Consultants can be
available for data collection consultations and assistance.

Option D: The team has a clear understanding of what Assistive Technology is being used/trialed and will use IU19 Assistive
Technology Process form for documentation purposes for IEP planning, programming, development, programming modifications, and
specially designed instruction (SDI). IU AT Consultants can be available for data collection consultations and assistance.

All options can be tailored to what the vision and planning needs are in district, as per LEA request.
