AT can be anything that helps support someone with weak organization skills that affect the ability to store and retrieve information for learning. Assistive technology can help students use self-monitoring techniques, visual organization, and time management. \u201cExecutive functions\u201d are high-level mental abilities that direct attention and memory and help us to plan, organize, pay attention to and remember details, start and stop actions, form concepts and think abstractly.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/exploreat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Organizaation-CaseS2_TimeTimer.png\" alt=\"Parent &amp; Child using Time Timer\" width=\"399\" height=\"256\" \/>When do I need to use them?<\/strong> Students need the right tools (such as notebooks and assignment pads) and basic study skills (such as reading and note-taking skills) to be successful in school.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who?<\/strong> Weak executive functioning skills can be common in individuals with ADHD and learning issues like dyslexia.

He was finding it more difficult to self-monitor his distractibility issues.\u00a0 In the past, he was more aware of his tendencies to lose focus, but with more complex classes and a variety of activities, he was struggling to concentrate both at school and at home. Using tools for decreasing stimuli and no tech\/low tech AT, he was able to get back on track in recognizing the school subjects and activities that caused more distraction.\u00a0 For example, in his math class, the students were talkative and worked in groups frequently.\u00a0 The teacher began using the timed timer on the smartboard to show students how much time was left in the group activity.\u00a0 The teacher also decreased the number of group work activities to help the class focus and work more quietly.\u00a0 The student took ear buds or headphones to each class to assist allow him to block out distracting noises when taking tests. A reading bar is a low tech AT item that he used at home and in class to help him focus on each line of a chapter he would read.\u00a0 At home, the high schooler tried a few different seating arrangements and found the variety helpful in keeping him on task.\u00a0 He switches from his standard desk chair, to an exercise ball, to a vibrating seat pillow that is designed to help fidgety students sit longer and concentrate<\/p>\n<p><strong>Goals and Outcomes:<\/strong> With the help of no to low tech and mid tech AT, this high school student with a highly distractible nature will be able to work on self-monitoring behavior again so that he can focus on his challenging classes and assignments during and after school.<\/p>\n<p>See the attached SETT Framework for feature matching

To ensure the job assignment was accurate, the employee used a voice recorder to capture information about the work assignment, such as the job location, the supervisor\u2019s name, and tasks to be completed. To refresh his memory, the employee was able to listen to this recorded information whenever necessary, sometimes several times each day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Possible Recommendations:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are a variety of voice recording technologies such as small, hand-held recorders that can be purchased at common stores. The employer could purchase a smart phone for the employee who could use \u201caudio note\u201d to record. Smart phones provide a microphone symbol to use your voice to text a message or take notes. \u00a0The supervisor may also user a voice recorder to save verbal instructions and leave at the employee\u2019s desk each day. iPads can also be used with apps such as Voice Dream Reader, Dragon Dictate, and Noteability which allows a document to display along with recorded message such as powerpoint or guidebook.<\/p>\n<strong>Goals and Outcomes:<br \/>\n<\/strong>\n<p>The employee and employer\u2019s goals were to find easy to use accommodations that would help the employee remember instructions about each project. \u00a0The employer valued the employee because he was reliable and an asset to the company.<\/p>\n<p>See the attached HAAT Model form to see how to match the employee to needed AT.<\/p>\n<h4>Case Study Forms \u2013 HATT Model<\/h4>\n<p>Case Study #1 (Worker with Auditory Processing Disorder) | <a href=\"https:\/\/exploreat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Employment-ORG-Case-Study-1.pdf\">PDF<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/exploreat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Employment-ORG-Case-Study-1.docx\">Word<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>\u2028\u2028Sample solutions:<\/h4>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-213\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-213 tablepress-responsive\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/shop\/buy-ipad\/ipad-pro\">iPad<\/a><\/th><th class=\"column-2\"><a href=\"http:\/\/gingerlabs.com\/\">Notability App<\/a><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><figure id=\"attachment_4059\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4059\" style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/exploreat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/iPad.png\" alt=\"iPad With Apps\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4059\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4059\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">iPad With Apps<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/td><td class=\"column-2\"><figure id=\"attachment_4646\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4646\" style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/exploreat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/EM1_NoteabilityApp.png\" alt=\"Noteabiliity App\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4646\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4646\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Noteabiliity App<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Case Study #2:\u2028<\/h3>\n<h4>An employee who works in manufacturing and has a learning disability<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/exploreat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/SupervisorEmployee_computer.png\" alt=\"Supervisor and employee reviewing the job task\" width=\"402\" height=\"269\" \/>The employee had difficulty remembering task sequences of the job. The supervisor provided written instructions, whereby each major task was broken down into smaller, sequential sub-parts. Each subpart was color-coded for easy reference (green means start, red means stop).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Possible Recommendations:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The employee and supervisor could implement more color coding by projects such as yellow, purple, etc. would prioritize the projects for the day or week. \u00a0The employee could also try using a smart phone supplied by the company to save the written and verbal instructions in an app. Daily reminders at various times of each work day could easily be entered in the phone\u2019s calendar.<\/p>\n<strong>Goals and Outcomes:<br \/>\n<\/strong>\n<p>The employee and employer\u2019s goals were to determine the necessary parts of the employee\u2019s job and focus on written instructions for each daily task. \u00a0As the employee became more experienced and needs less written instructions, the employer\u2019s hope was to give one or two new projects to the employee with the same accommodations.

The supervisor agreed to send emails with numbered task lists or general pieces of information the employee needed to know. Due dates were assigned either by the supervisor or by the employee. The employee decided to use a subscription online project management tool so that all employees can log into to see new assignments and due dates. The employee will send a weekly priority list to the supervisor each Monday morning as well as prepare a weekly priority list for all staff he supervises. After a while on the job, he may wish to have the employees create their own priority lists and send to him to check. This would save him the time of developing it weekly and give them the opportunity to manage projects and grow in their knowledge.
