Due to popular demand, the authors of the Quality Indicators for Assistive Technology: A Comprehensive Guide to Assistive Technology Services now offer this practical companion to the original book, which will help students, families, school professionals, and communities work together to meet the educational needs of every student.

The original Quality Indicators for Assistive Technology, or QIAT, were developed by a team of experienced leaders in the field of assistive technology (AT) in education over nearly two decades. Drawing on contributions and feedback from thousands of educators and families, the Indicators offer extensive support for the development and implementation of AT services, including research-based information, resources, and scenarios. They collectively support AT decision-making and actions at all points of AT service delivery and ensure that they

• align with specific areas of special education processes;
• describe the core components of quality AT services in eight areas; and
• require a team approach that emphasizes student and family voice.

The indicators, intent statements, and supporting materials for each area are used as guideposts for developing and sustaining effective, efficient, and ethical AT services across the country and internationally.

This new volume, The QIAT Companion, offers educators and families an action-based, "just-in-time" resource written by the QIAT authors themselves.
