AT Implementation
 

If the trial period is successful, then the student should continue using the AT. Teams should not overlook the importance of putting an implementation plan in place, however. Just becuase a student is using a tool now, does not mean that his other teachers will know how to support its use in other classes.

Now that the tool is determined to be useful, you might need to make a plan to expand its use across other subject areas or school environments. In most cases where an implementation plan is not in place, the usefulness of the AT strategy is short-lived.

Use the Implementation Plan Form (40K doc) to plan for integrating the AT strategy into the student's day.

HIAT assists teams in MCPS to create implementation plans by answering questions as needed. MCPS staff members may request assistance from HIAT.

See the resources from the Maryland Assistive Technology Network on implementing AT.
