Interesting Blog
As I was researching and preparing for another assignment, I came across a very interesting blog post, written by an individual with Autism. The blog website is http://thiswayoflife.org. The author of the blog discusses the use of Assistive Technology, the benefits and hindrances of it, and the necessity of taking the time to match the person to most appropriate device. The discussion can be found at http://thiswayoflife.org/blog/?cat=21. There is also a link to a PDF file that contains a very thorough questionnaire used by the Oklahoma Assistive Technology Centre. (here it is: http://www.theoatc.org/documents/communication/AAC%20Checklist%20rev%2004.16.04.pdf)

Neat link! Also, the questionnaire looks like it may be somewhat useful when considering the MPTT model for our case studies. I'm looking forward to discussing this assignment and how to determine the best match. It seems like we've barely skimmed the surface of so many of the programs available!
Thanks I liked the link and like Anisa I hope when we present our case studies we will learn more about linking the student to the right AT. I love your blog- makes mine look too simple. Nice job
