The basic Screener consists of nine sections. The Sensory Impairment Appendix consists of two sections, vision and hearing. The Sensory Impairment Appendix and Discussion Section are additional pages that can be utilized where necessary. No product names or manufacturers are used in the Screener protocol. Generic categories of items are used in both high tech and low tech divisions.
Specific products can change quickly.
Categories of assistive technology may change over time, but that change will occur much more slowly. Many different products may fit into a single category. Specific products are referenced in the manual to provide the professional with a frame of reference to be used in completing the checklist. It is unrealistic to expect that every assistive technology device will be referenced by name. The inclusion or exclusion of any specific product, item or system should not be interpreted to be an endorsement or recommendation.
