Students who are blind or visually impaired usually require assistive
technology (AT) to access the general education classroom and curriculum.
Frequently, the individualized education program (IEP) team lacks adequate
training to utilize a framework or process to effectively make decisions about AT.

framework as a guide to making evidence-based AT decisions is one way to
approach identifying appropriate AT for students. Applying the WATI process
allows systematic evaluation and provides data to accurately select AT for students
