April 20- I worked with Kyle today, I was very frustrated because there was alot of miscommunication between Becky and I. That said she brought her laptop but it was very slow and we ended up not getting anything done. This was frustrating because then we ended up wasting time. Additionally, Becky didnt bring any pictures so even if her computer would have loaded we would not have had pictures.

What is a
A print disability is when a person is unable to use regular standard print. This is commonly known as an inability to read a book or magazine.
One type is blindness, a person who is blind cannot see so reading a book would be out of the question, however if given a book that is in Braille a student would be able to read it by running their fingers across the dots.
What additional actions can you take during instruction to maximize Madeline's success?
I would make sure that the audio was working for her and continue to check-in throughout the school year to be sure that her success continues.
WATI Site
How does the WATI library work?
They are a lending resource for teacher and students within Wisconsin. They provide both materials and equipment.

-Performance data to determine whether the AT helps the student to perform the intended task(s).
Imagine you are a seventh-grade general education language arts teacher and a student in your class has an upcoming IEP meeting. What types of information should you gather ahead of time to contribute to the discussion of the student's AT needs? Name at least four.
-Be knowledgeable about the array of available AT devices and services.
-Be able to provide information to other team members about potential AT options.
-Be prepared to search for the identify new AT options.
-Bring AT taht will be helpful to the student to be successful in your classroom.
During the meeting suggested in the example above, the IEP team recommends AT for the student. As a general education teacher, describe your role in the AT implementation and evaluation processes.
Work with the student and be sure that they are using the tool to the best of their ability in the classroom, Also allowing students to explore how they could use the AT before "requiring" them to use it.

-It grants the students the ability to one day be independent.
Why is it important to consider both AT devices and services?
Both service and the devices need to be considered because one without the other would not help students. If you give a device but do not provide the service to help the students learn how to use it they will not be able to use it their fullest potential. Service without showing the students how to use the device without providing it will not give the student the leg up they need.
Describe three responsibilities of the Implementation Team.
-Must get the equipment/tool for the student
-Train anyone who will be aiding the students, on how to use the equipment.
-Begin to trouble shoot on how to use and be prepared to determine how to get out of a situation where something has gone wrong.
List three outcomes the Implementation Team can determine by evaluating a student's assistive technology.
-Student feedback to determine whether the student likes the AT and feel it is helpful.
-Observations to establish whether the student uses the AT and appears engaged and interested in using the device.
-Performance data to determine whether the AT helps the student to perform the intended task(s).
