AT/AAC Evaluations and Consultations
Assistive Technology (AT) and Augmentative Communication (AAC) services are provided to children in schools through their IEPs. We are a Non Public Agency through Packard Children’s Hospital.
Services include full multi-team
evaluations, consultations, training, trouble shooting computer set-ups,
material design and guidance in implementation.
Our evaluation process can be either single session or multi-session with
the school and home team present. The evaluation process matches the students
needs and abilities to characteristics or feature of AT and AAC technology.
We take into consideration a student’s language and academic skills,
communication modes, physical abilities and type of processing
These can take place in our center or in the classroom. The ATRC has a
full range of computer equipment, adaptations, software, augmentative
communication devices and resource books to use for clinical trials. Equipment
can be customized as needed. (picture of chin switch?)
