Abstract: By the time assessment data and trial evidence are in hand, the clinical work is only half finished. This session addresses the second half: converting a feature-based recommendation into IEP-ready language, determining appropriate AT service minutes, and building an implementation plan that survives contact with a real classroom. Participants will learn to write recommendation language that ties a documented barrier to a specific assistive feature and functional outcome, determine service minutes based on the complexity of support needed rather than the number of tools recommended, and plan for monitoring and follow-up that keeps AT responsive as demands change. The session also addresses why well-matched AT plans often break down after they leave the IEP meeting - examining shared responsibility across the IEP team, student engagement and voice, and common barriers to implementation. Using five composite case studies spanning different grade levels, disability categories, and service settings - including the session's running case study - participants will practice applying these principles across varied real-world scenarios. Tools referenced throughout are drawn from the presenter's direct clinical experience in K–12 settings and do not constitute endorsement or promotion of any product.

Abstract: Gathering assessment data is only the beginning of the AT process. The real clinical work happens in what comes next: translating functional data into defensible tool recommendations through systematic feature matching and structured trials. This session focuses on the decision-making engine of AT practice — how practitioners move from a documented access barrier to a trialed, evidence-supported recommendation. Participants will learn to apply a hypothesis-driven feature matching framework. They will also learn to design and document AT trials that produce defensible data, and to interpret trial results — including negative outcomes — as meaningful clinical information. Using a running case study, the session walks through feature matching and tool walkthroughs for reading access, written output, and writing organization. This work culminates in a complete feature-based recommendation statement that is ready to be translated into IEP language in Part 4. The tools referenced throughout this session — including Read&Write, OrbitNote, and Mindomo — are examples drawn from the presenter's direct clinical experience in K–12 settings. They are used to illustrate specific AT features in practice and do not constitute endorsement or promotion of any product.

Presenter(s): Dr. Jeff Ackerman, Co-Founder & CEO, Doorbotics and Sevy Swift, Co-Founder & COO, Doorbotics Door access remains a daily barrier for many wheelchair users, people with mobility limitations, and older adults who want to live independently. Doorbotics is developing Theodoor, a robotic door opener that installs in minutes, making standard residential doors automatic without permanent door or frame modifications. This session will introduce the door-access problem, show how Theodoor unlatches and opens a door using a key fob, app, or smart-home trigger, and discuss how lower-cost, portable door automation can support aging in place, independent living, rehab clinics, and assistive technology lending programs.

Abstract: Effective assistive technology assessment in K–12 schools requires a systematic, evidence-based process for gathering and interpreting functional data. This session focuses on the assessment engine of the AT process — how practitioners observe students in context, gather meaningful data through records and team input, and use formative assessment tools to make defensible, educationally relevant AT decisions. Participants will explore practitioner-developed tools designed to support IEP teams at the point of referral, build skills in structured classroom observation using a narrative framework that distinguishes access barriers from behavioral concerns, and learn to interpret formative reading and writing assessment data in ways that directly inform AT decision-making. A running case study grounds every concept in a real student profile, illustrating how the full assessment process unfolds from referral to hypothesis.

Abstract: The Wheelchair Functional Impact Tool (WC‑FIT) is a free, educational self‑report tool designed to help individuals with new‑onset mobility impairment and their caregivers engage in meaningful discussions with the treatment team about wheeled mobility options. Its primary goal is to support shared understanding of how mobility devices may influence function, participation, and daily activities for the individual. The shared decision-making the WC-FIT facilitates is central to client empowerment. Informed by the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), the WC‑FIT conceptualizes the mobility device as an environmental factor and prompts users to consider its impact across body functions and structures, activities, and participation. The tool allows users to evaluate and compare the functional impact of multiple mobility devices in a consistent, structured format. Clients and caregivers complete the WC‑FIT outside of therapy time and then review the results with the primary treatment team. This helps optimize efficiency during therapy appointments, minimize clinician’s influence on responses, and can enhance interdisciplinary communication. Responses across nine categories provide insight into the client’s understanding of functional advantages and limitations associated with different devices, as well as their needs, values, and preferences. This information helps guide equipment recommendations and supports informed, client‑centered decision‑making.

Presenter: Ryan Cavender, Technical Support & Education Manager This webinar provides a foundational technical overview of the HomeBrace MyEcc eye‑gaze driving systems, including proportional control, AI‑supported gaze detection, and key compatibility requirements. Participants will learn how these systems integrate with wheelchair electronics and how calibration, control geometry, and camera alignment influence driving accuracy. Clinical considerations—such as user profiles, seating interactions, and real‑world mobility demands—are highlighted to support effective decision‑making and justification.

Abstract: School-based Assistive Technology (AT) processes often break down before assessment even begins. Educators may be unsure what AT is, when it is appropriate, or how to describe student needs in a way that leads to a meaningful referral. This webinar introduces the foundational concepts needed to build a functional, defensible AT process in K–12 schools. Participants will examine why AT systems are often fragmented, how IDEA and the IEP process shape AT consideration, and why structured identification and referral practices are essential. The session will distinguish universal supports, targeted supports, and AT; discuss common referral triggers and referral pitfalls; and emphasize the importance of defining functional access barriers before moving into assessment. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how to guide teams toward appropriate AT consideration and how strong problem definition leads to more focused, efficient, and educationally relevant AT assessments. This is part one of a four-part webinar series. RESNA plans to offer the remaining parts of the series, but the schedule has not yet been set. Participants may contact the instructor for more information.
