Resources should include presentation of facts (the text book/Power Point/Whiteboard key information in AAC format) and recording (individually differentiated so that the student can demonstrate knowledge with least physical effort necessary).
The AAC TA will need to keep up to date with changes in technology and opportunities that such changes might offer the student. Also, changes in the student’s needs in terms of access to technology will need constant monitoring and adjusting as necessary. The AAC TA should report any identified needs to the AAC coordinator.
