what comes along to the next place
Drawn for this page. The tools a student already uses well are the ones to keep in reach after a move.

How to use it

  1. Start an inventory with a code or initials and the date.
  2. Mark where the student is going and when.
  3. Rate each tool together, using the student’s own answer.
  4. Mark what they own or will bring, and the settings that work.
  5. Share the summary with the next team well before the start.

How to use the ratings

Familiarity, not need

A tool the student never tried may still be the right one, and a familiar one may no longer fit. This records where they start; an assistive technology evaluation decides need.

After high school

Colleges and employers must provide access and reasonable accommodations, but they do not have to provide personal devices or software. Students usually bring their own.

What it is not

Not an evaluation and not a list of recommendations. It is the student’s own account, written down so it travels with them.
