The right tools for each student
What is an assistive technology assessment?
An assistive technology (AT) assessment finds the devices and supports a student needs to access their education. Federal law requires every IEP team to consider whether a student needs assistive technology. Our founder holds an Assistive Technology Specialist certificate and has years of experience supporting AAC and specialized equipment at a SELPA.
We serve districts in Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, San Bernardino, Riverside and San Diego counties.

Who we work with
AAC evaluations
For students without functional speech, an AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) evaluation looks at how the student communicates now and which tools could help, from simple push button devices to eye gaze systems.
As part of an assistive technology assessment, we look at the student’s communication needs and AAC options and work alongside the student’s speech-language pathologist so recommendations fit how the student learns and communicates.
