Involving Teens and Young Adults in Selecting Assistive Technology


Introduction 

This 4-page resource helps families involve teens and young adults in learning about and selecting assistive technology (AT). An important goal for older students is to understand the areas in which technology can support them in their educational and employment goals. The tip sheet encourages  students to advocate for themselves, and to take an active role in selecting assistive technology to address their needs.

The tip sheet is a product of the Center on Technology and Disability (CTD) and the PACER Center.
