This article describes the development of a course sequence in assistive technology (AT) that was offered over a four year period for special educators, speech/language therapists, and occupational therapists. The course participants learned how to assess student needs for AT, what AT devices were available, and how to make good decisions within the IEP team process for students with disabilities. The major sections of the course were data-gathering frameworks, legal issues, augmentative communication devices, and computer access adaptations and software. Follow-up consumer satisfaction of the course by the participants is also summarized. One of the most beneficial residuals from the course was a short-term AT equipment loan program.
