Overview

This module is Part II of the WATI assessment process for computer access. The module continues to explore the WATI assessment process using the WATI AT Decision-Making Guide for the selection and implementation of assistive technology (AT) tools for computer access. Computer access tools and software will be explored for cognitive, learning, motor, vision, and hearing impairments. The WATI AT Continuum is utilized to organize AT tool choices from common tools (already available in the environment) to more specialized tools.
