"Resources for AAC Strategies and Tools (RAST) is a compilation of tools and strategies to assist teams in providing collaborative services in line with clinical knowledge and researched practices. RAST's purpose is to provide teams with concise user-friendly resources for organizing, teaching, and building teams that support users of AAC. Intervention supporting users of assistive technologies is a dynamic process (King, Baroody & Haymes, 1998; Beukelman & Mirenda,1992)."
"The SIFTS is a quick and easy web-based survey tool developed primarily to support IEP teams who need assistance in matching student needs and strengths to AT features.

"Description
AT Consideration Guide: IDEA (1997) added the requirement that each IEP team consider the need for assistive technology as part of the Consideration of Special Factors. IEP Teams must also document their consideration of assistive technology in the IEP. The consideration guide can assist school divisions in developing a process for consideration of AT in the IEP process. This app was developed in collaboration with the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE)."
