Project TTAP (Technology Team Assessment Process) developed a cost
effective functional technology assessment model to ensure that children from
birth to 8 with moderate to severe disabilities receive a thorough team assessment
and follow-up consultation as part of a comprehensive assessment process. Project TTAP provided replication training on our technology assessment
model to teams of early childhood personnel, service providers, and families.
TTAP's team assessment training provides teams with the ability to determine
most effective hardware, software, and adaptive devices for an individual child
and to avoid the "hit and miss" approach of making assistive technology
recommendations. A manual describing the TTAP process, as well
as an observation instrument developed by the Project is available from the Center for Best Pracices in Early Childhood.
TTAP was funded by the U.S. Department of Education's Early Education Program
for Children with Disabilities, PR#H024D40023.
