Quality Indicators for Assistive Technology: A Comprehensive Guide to Assistive Technology Services - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Work on the Quality Indicators for Assistive Technology (QIAT) began in the summer of 1998 when a group of assistive technology (AT) service providers shared their concerns about the complexity of selecting, locating, and delivering AT and AT services in K-12 and postsecondary environments. They agreed on the need for professional guidelines to improve the quality and consistency of AT delivery.

Since then, the QIAT Leadership Team has gathered input from more than 4,000 individuals ranging from students and families to school staff, policy makers, and higher education faculty. After many drafts and revisions informed by the field, the result is the Quality Indicators for Assistive Technology: A Comprehensive Guide to Assistive Technology Services.
