Unlocking Independence: Using Adaptive Technology for Student Success
Last month, AISD Assistive Technology specialists, OTs, and PTs strapped themselves into adaptive power wheelchairs to give the staff members valuable insights into available adaptive technology that might benefit the students they work with daily.
After trying the chairs themselves, staff got to see the real professionals at work–the students. The first visit was with EC Mason kindergartener Evalynn, who recently upgraded her specialized wheelchair. Her solo-session focused on how she can best use the new technology in the chair.
