A Regional Profile of Assistive Technology Services: Assessment of Service Delivery and Suggestions for Improving Post Secondary Transition‪.‬

INTRODUCTION Assistive Technology (AT) teams currently exist in both K-12 and postsecondary institutions in the southern Illinois region. The K-12 teams were developed in seven Special Education Cooperatives (SECs) as a result of efforts supported by an Illinois State Board of Education grant (JAMP, 2000). In order to address the needs of students with disabilities at the postsecondary level, Southern Illinois University Carbondale's Disability Support Services (DSS) has established a working AT team with the support of a short-term grant obtained through the Illinois Board of Higher Education (Whitney, 2005). This team delivers AT training workshops throughout the southern Illinois region in addition to supporting students enrolled at the university.
