Description:
The most common challenges in providing assistive technology (AT) services occur after AT is provided and during implementation of its use.  If educators and assistive technology specialists look only at the symptoms of the failure, (e.g. AT is present in the classroom but not used), they may not be addressing the underlying reasons for it (e.g. The use of AT interferes with daily classroom routines).  The webinar will introduce a paradigm for a systematic approach to pinpointing underlying reasons for difficulties with daily, functional use of AT and identifying appropriate intervention strategies.

Learning Outcomes:
As a result of this activity, participants will be able to:

1. As a result of this activity, participants will be able to identify six primary underlying reasons for the implementation difficulties they are experiencing.
   
   
2. As a result of this activity, participants will be able to review breakdowns and select potential actions to take based on specific underlying reasons for the difficulty
   
   
3. As a result of this activity, participants will be able to identify and select potential resources to use in their interventions.
