Ensuring correct fit and sustainability of assistive technology recommendations in schools
Abandonment of AT in schools is costly and undermines children's academic success. Best practices for AT recommendation, implementation, and sustainability necessitate a simplified guiding framework that incorporates key ingredients related to child focus, school context, and collaboration. The framework structure should be flexible such that it can be tailored to the organisational systems and processes within individual schools.
