Description
This
course is part two of the Assistive Technology series. PEAT's Suite, Supporting a Child's Physical Environment and Assistive Tool Journey, provides the framework for this course. The course provides guidance on
making decisions when moving to modified and specialized tools for children,
how to use them appropriately within a child’s daily routine, and how to trial
and acquire devices in Pennsylvania. Children with and without special needs,
