WATI Assistive Technology Consideration Guide 1. What task is it that we want this student to do, that they are unable to do at a level that reflects their skills/abilities (writing, reading, communicating, seeing, hearing)? Document by checking each relevant task below. Please leave blank any tasks that are not relevant to the student’s IEP. 2. Is the student currently able to complete tasks with special strategies or accommodations? If yes, describe in Column A for each checked task. 3. Is there available assistive technology (either devices, tools, hardware, o software) that could be used to address this task? (If none are known, review WATI’s AT Checklist.) If any assistive technology tools are currently being used (or were tried in the past), describe in Column B. 4. Would the use of assistive technology help the student perform this skill more easily or efficiently, in the least restrictive environment, or perform successfully with less personal assistance? If yes, complete Column C. Task
Motor Aspects of Writing
Computer Access
A. If currently completes task with special strategies and / or accommodations, describe.
B. If currently completes task with assistive technology tools, describe.
C. Describe new or additional assistive technology to be tried.
X Currently the student types written assignments on Microsoft Word and then shares the document with me, however the workflow model is hard for the teacher and the student has a difficult time locating the file.
Instead of having the student type on Microsoft Word I would like to have them type or use text to type on OneNote. This way it’s more organized, has more of a notebook feel, and it’s one place for everything.
X Currently this student brings a BYOD computer from home to type his work. They have access to the school computer and can print from the school computer any work that needs to be turned in.
Having the student type their assignment in OneNote is a much better workflow where the teacher can see all of their work that the student completes online so they that they don’t necessarily need to print it off.
OneNote would help the student perform this skill more easily and efficiently.

X In the IEP it states that this child is to have their teacher make sure that their writing is legible in their planner or type their planner.
A. If currently completes task with special strategies and / or accommodations, describe.
X Having the student use OneNote for their planner/agenda will help make them more independent for middle school so that they are less reliant on the teacher checking that it’s legible. This also allows the student to highlight or color code things in OneNote to help with ensuring that all assignments are completed.
B. If currently completes task with assistive technology tools, describe.
C. Describe new or additional assistive technology to be tried.
5. Are there assistive technology services (more specific evaluation of need for assistive technology, adapting or modifying the assistive technology, technical assistance on its operation or use, or training of student, staff, or family) that this student needs? If yes, describe what will be provided, the initiation and duration. The student would need training on how to use OneNote and parents would need training to know how to access what is on their child’s OneNote.

Assistive Technology Evaluation Student Feedback HN loves doing anything that involves writing on OneNote. He is often very first the one to remind me or ask if he can type the assignment on OneNote when I give instruction for the students to hand write the assignment. He also stated, “My writing has really improved, and my friends can read my writing without constantly asking how to read what I had wrote. “ This shows how using OneNote and typing out assignments has increased his confidence. Each time I worked with HN I observed what the student’s product looked like to see if it’s helping him write a five-paragraph essay, fill out his planner, and gain confidence. Below are screenshots of his work since using OneNote. You will see
Planner
Writing from the student
After observing HN using his laptop and looking at the data of his end of quarter piece of writing and his work it shows how having him type his assignments allows him to express himself in more efficient ways than writing with a pencil or pen.
