Assistive Technology Resource 1


This post introduces assistive technology implementation resources.  Implementation planning is vital to successful use of assistive technology. 
OREGON TECHNOLOGY ACCESS PROGRAM

The Oregon Technology Access Program (OTAP) provides training, information, technical assistance and resources regarding the uses of technology for children with disabilities. OTAP services are available to anyone concerned with the needs of Oregon's children with disabilities from birth to age twenty-one. The program is sponsored by the Oregon Department of Education (ODE).

This website offers useful information concerning the proper implementation of assistive technology.  OTAP offers training sessions, AT links, AT documents, web classes, information concerning the annual AT conference, and publications.  I recommend you to take the time to look at the site and see what it has to offer.
