What assistive technology resources are available at OTAP?

We have taken a look at many types of assistive technologies from low-tech to high-tech. The OTAP (Oregon Technology Access Program) website provides a lot of assistive technology resources developed by professionals in the field. These resources can be very useful for teachers and include help with implementing AT, including it in IEP’s, evaluation of the use of AT, and assessment. Publications including newsletters and workbooks from this organization are available in multiple formats. OTAP runs a yearly conference. This year the focus will be on research and standards dealing with AT. One really great feature of this site is its lending library which actually lends assistive technology devices to its members.
