Abstract:
By the time assessment data and trial evidence are in hand, the clinical work is only half finished. This session addresses the second half: converting a feature-based recommendation into IEP-ready language, determining appropriate AT service minutes, and building an implementation plan that survives contact with a real classroom. Participants will learn to write recommendation language that ties a documented barrier to a specific assistive feature and functional outcome, determine service minutes based on the complexity of support needed rather than the number of tools recommended, and plan for monitoring and follow-up that keeps AT responsive as demands change. The session also addresses why well-matched AT plans often break down after they leave the IEP meeting - examining shared responsibility across the IEP team, student engagement and voice, and common barriers to implementation. Using five composite case studies spanning different grade levels, disability categories, and service settings - including the session's running case study - participants will practice applying these principles across varied real-world scenarios. Tools referenced throughout, including Read&Write and Mindomo, are drawn from the presenter's direct clinical experience in K–12 settings and do not constitute endorsement or promotion of any product.

This interactive session introduces a practical guide developed by the RESNA Maker Special Interest Group to help makers, service providers, and individuals with disabilities navigate the world of DIY assistive technology (AT). Through real-world case studies, group discussions, and hands-on activities, participants will learn the fundamentals of DIY AT, explore when DIY solutions are appropriate, and gain actionable strategies for fostering a culture of innovation and accessibility in their communities. Attendees will leave with valuable resources, practical knowledge, and the confidence to support user-centered DIY AT initiatives.
