Assistive Technology Checklist for Assessment



Assistive Technology Checklist for AssessmentCompiled by Amy Snow, Teacher of the Visually ImpairedIntroduction This self-created checklist is a free and open source way of assessing technology skills of students with visual impairments. ?This is a lengthy and comprehensive document and it should be understood that not all questions or sections will apply to your student. ?PurposeThis checklist was created to assess the skills of students whose primary disability is visual impairment. ?Though there are sections related to assistive technology that may be used with individuals who have additional disabilities, this checklist was not developed to assess those skills in isolation. ?Instructions for CompletionFill out the assessment header and record review information ?Read the headings contained in the assessment and mark the ones appropriate to your student (obviously totally blind students will not need to be assessed on their use of screen magnification)Complete the sections you marked as directedThere are several places in the assessment where a student could perform a given task using a mouse, keyboard, or both. ?Mark boxes with a K if student uses key commands, an M if the students uses a mouse, or a B if the student can use both Make any notes in the margins you feel are relevantYou may wish to use parts or all of this checklist to write up a report or keep the checklist on hand as a way of measuring student progress over time.Table of ContentsIntroductionPurposeInstructions for CompletionRecord ReviewHandheld DevicesVideo MagnificationTouch TypingUse of a
