Begin with the Find Your AT Tool Questionnaire to gather valuable insights, then use the AT Questionnaire Responses to Solutions: Quick Reference Guide to kickstart an individualized AT Plan.
Review the student’s information from the questionnaire or survey, and consult the Functional AT Guide to pinpoint the needed support types. To complete your AT recommendations, explore the specific tools highlighted in the Annotated Tool Guide, the AI Tools Quick Sheet, or through the Assistive & Adaptive Practical Reference Guide.
While this is always an interactive process, requiring follow-ups and support, the Toolkit also provides ideas for Easy Ask Creative Campus Collaborations. These collaborations aim to promote sustained AT adoption and overall academic success by encouraging campus-wide cooperation and communication.

Follow campus procedures for scheduling and guide the student's hands-on demo experience. Provide further guidance on best practices in the "Best Practices for Appointment & Demo" section of the Assistive & Adaptive Practical Reference Guide.
5. AT Setup & Checkout
Follow campus procedures for AT setup and equipment checkout, watching for special settings or customizations necessary.
6. Training & Resources
Provide student training materials and integrate campus collaboration using the Easy Asks to promote sustained AT adoption. Try the Using AI to Create Training Materials!
7. AT Perseverance & Evidence
Schedule and perform student check-ins (24-hour, 1-week, and longer-term using your campus's student management system), adjust the AT plan as needed, and collect data on AT provision and effectiveness for campus reporting.
The research-based toolkit matches students with AT solutions they'll actually use and persist with—built on proven assessment models, learning theory, and memory science.
The Easy Button Toolkit simplifies the process of finding the right Assistive Technology (AT) for students to achieve academic success.
