"Hey! Can I Try That?" Resource


While exploring Oregon Technology Access Program’s website, another resource listed on page 319, I came across an awesome, FREE download: Hey! Can I Try That?  It’s a student-friendly workbook for students to learn more about using AT, and self-identifying where it should be used.  This would be a great resource for students who are cognitively aware, or able to self-identify.  The workbook itself embodies self-advocacy! 
It includes student stories, steps for setting goals, and self-identification.  The workbook has open-response areas for students to fill out, based on their self-identification, which include:
  • What’s the problem?
  • What’s the situation?
  • Would I use this AT?
  • What will I use and how will I use it?
  • What needs to be done?
  • How is my AT working for me?
 I think this is an AMAZING self-advocacy tool for students – and honestly, doesn’t it mirror the IEP team’s process?!
