This LATS Professional Development program certifies you have
acquired the competencies necessary to provide appropriate Assistive

• Facilitate IEP teams to use an effective team decision making process to
appropriately consider students for their assistive technology needs,
resolve computer access issues and reduce potential for costly hearings
and litigation.
• Locate and use available local, state and national resources to assist
with facilitation.
• Implement selected assistive technology devices and software within
the curriculum.
• Over time, apply learned skills to assess student needs and provide a
range of assistive technology services in general and special education

Windows or Mac operating system, creativity, patience, expertise with
