Overview
Without an implementation plan, all of the previous work of assessing AT needs and selecting AT to match the identified needs could end with no changes for the person who uses the AT. At the point of AT implementation, a person is supported through a planful process to develop independence and need less support. This module explores aspects of high-quality implementation planning and offers resources and videos to help the support team.
