= = = Assistive Technology Competencies Project =

PaTTAN is embarking on this project to identify, develop and support competencies for AT consultants in the schools, using the [|Quality Indicators for AT] as a frame of reference. The end result of this project is first that those new to the area of assistive technology consultation at the intermediate unit and school district level will become more knowledgeable about AT, and also that PaTTAN will provide and/or support structured training with core AT competencies as a foundation.
