University of Kentucky Assistive Technology Project
The University
of Kentucky Assistive Technology (UKAT) Toolkit is a product of six years
of assistive technology (AT) research conducted at the University of Kentucky
in collaboration with six school districts in Kentucky. It provides a
systematic method of delivering ATservices to students in schools. It
is based on two major premises:
The first goal in special education is to improve a student's
ability to successfully function in schools, responding to the demands
presented by the general curriculum and school environment; and
No technology and low technology solutions should be considered before
the high technology solutions.
The Toolkit systematically guides IEP and AT teams in considering the
use of AT from referral through implementation.
