Vitual vs. In-Person

We specialize in virtual Assistive Technology Assessment.

How is a virtual AT assessment different from in-person?

The short answer…it really isn’t, and here’s why…

The bottom line….

The key components and effectiveness of virtual assessments are not only comparable to in-person assessments, but they can also provide enhanced insights into a child's interaction with assistive tools.

  • A virtual Assistive Technology assessment is basically the same as an in-person assessment.

  • Our assessors utilize the same assessment components, ensuring no loss in quality or thoroughness.

  • In fact, virtual assessments can offer advantages that enhance the evaluation process.

    • Assessors have the opportunity to observe how a child interacts with computers or tablets in real time, providing a clearer picture of their engagement and ability with technology. This direct observation can lead to a more accurate understanding of a child's needs.

  • Virtual assessments facilitate a collaborative environment where both the student and the assessor can view the same information simultaneously. This eliminates challenges such as looking over shoulders or having difficulty seeing the screen, thereby improving communication and understanding.

  • Virtual assessments often require less time to complete, which can make it more economical.
