  2. Sensory Issues and Relationship to Assistive Technology Objectives • Understand the definition of AT • Understand the senses • Understand the influence of the senses on AT selection • Understand why it is important to consider sensory issues when looking at AT

  3. ASNATAssessing Student’s Needs forAssistive Technology Sensory Issues and Relationship to Assistive Technology • What do you know? • What do you want to know?

  4. Sensory Issues and Relationship to Assistive Technology • What is AT? 2 parts • 1.DEVICE- Any Item, piece of equipment or product system, whether acquired commercially off the shelf, modified or customized, that is used to increase, maintain, or improve functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities.

  5. What is AT? (continued) • 2.SERVICE- Any service that directly assists an individual with a disability in the selection, acquisition, or use of an assistive technology device. • Evaluation of the technology needs, including a functional evaluation in the individual’s customary environment • Purchasing, leasing, or otherwise providing for the acquisition of assistive technology devices.

  6. Sensory Issues and Relationship to Assistive Technology • What are the senses? • 5 plus 2

  7. Sensory Issues and Relationship to Assistive Technology • Vision • Hearing • Taste • Smell • Touch • Proprioceptive • Vestibular
