​Consult

What is an AT consult?
An AT Consult is a brainstorming session between the AT consultant and school team members via phone, email or in person to discuss AT supports that may work for your student.

How can I get an AT consult?
Simple Process
Fill out the AT Contact Request Form and either Heather Weaver or Stacey Banks will contact you within 5 school days.

AT Checklist
It's always a good idea to fill out the AT Checklist before you speak with your consultant. This tracks AT strategies you've already tried.

Scheduling a Consult
You and your AT Consultant will find a time that works to either speak with you on the phone or in person.

​Evaluation

Picture
What is an AT evaluation?
An AT Evaluation is an observation in the classroom by the AT consultant followed up by a 504 Plan Re-evaluation meeting to share the results and possible recommendations of the observation.

How can I get an AT evaluation?

Initial Contact
You must Contact an AT consultant before requesting an AT EVALUATION. 


​
Contact Form
Although the AT consultant has knowledge of the evaluation, the AT Contact Request Form is a required document that must be completed. This gives the AT consultant detailed information about your student.

30-Day Timeline for Evaluations
The AT consultant has 30 days to complete the evaluation and then the AT consultant needs to be invited to a new IEP to discuss the results of the AT evaluation. ​

*When writing a request for AT services in the initial 504 plan,
please use the following language:

The A&IT department will be notified and a request for AT services will be made. An AT consult or AT Evaluation will be completed based on student’s needs and at the recommendation of the A&IT Department.
​

In order to empower our staff and students with 504 plans, we would like to provide a simple reference on accommodations/supports and strategies that can be written into a 504 plan without an AT CONSULT.

This list in not exhaustive, but a compilation of the most commonly
​requested and implemented AT-related supports.
