Abstract
Assistive technology (AT) assessments involve a dynamic process among the evaluator, the AT user, and the AT device. When accomplished correctly, these assessments are person-centered and ecological, that is, they actively involve the individual being evaluated and incorporate the collection of data from numerous environments in which the person works, learns, and plays. This chapter provides information about how such an AT assessment can be conducted using the Functional Evaluation for Assistive Technology (FEAT; Raskind & Bryant, 2002). Readers are provided with an overview of the importance of person-centered assessments, and then are given a description of each of the FEAT components. A case study is also provided, wherein the process of an effective and efficient AT assessment is described.
