Abstract

This chapter outlines the strategies that can be used to help implement assistive technology devices and services to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities at the post-secondary education level. A brief background sets the stage for outcomes of using assistive technology in post-secondary education programs. The authors then discuss how educators can prepare students during the transition process for post-secondary education success with assistive technology. The bulk of the chapter focuses on matching individual students' needs and abilities with a variety of assistive technology devices and services. The goal of the chapter is to give students, practitioners, and researchers resources and tools to implement and use in their particular setting that will help students to become independent lifelong learners using technology.
