    WATI (Wisconsin Assistive Technology Initiative) is helpful for teachers who feel a student may be struggling due to difficulties they have in the classroom such as communication, math, organization, etc. The full manual is provided on the site and allows the user to find the problem the student is having and find assistive devices that can help these students succeed in the classroom.
