Assistive Technology Matching
At the core of AT matching lies “feature matching”. This is a process whereby technology features are being identified that would benefit the AT user based on their abilities and needs.
This process of identifying technology features is based on the abilities and needs of the user. As a result, before considering AT, the educational team must clearly identify the user's unique needs and the tasks to be performed in the educational program.
The article describes an AT assessment process which identifies targeted tasks and environments for each student need. The student's needs and abilities should then be evaluated/observed if they have not already been identified. Then AT features are matched to those needs and abilities.
