The initial assessment can be completed in as little as one hour, to several days depending on individual circumstances. Summative results of the initial AT assessment are communicated to the client throughout the assessment process. On occasion, however, a staffing between the client, referral source, the Assistive Technology Specialist, and possibly others may be necessary to effect all necessary recommendations. Students often find that each new semester's schedule of courses presents new demands and requirements for technology access. Revised technology access plans are implemented accordingly.
Additional training is available upon request by the client or referral source.
There is never a charge to the client for training and support. Please see the facilities and resources page for locations, resources available at each location, and hours of operation. In addition to independently accessing the physical resources in the open labs, clients may receive training, assistance, and support in these settings. General lab supervisors and assistants can help with general computing questions when Assistive Technology staff are not on duty. These accommodations are available only for students who have an active case with and have been certified for such support by either Disability Services or the Learning Diagnostic Clinic.
