Assignment Three (11/12/10)
From the description, it does seem that Tyler is using clicking to fulfill a sensory need, and in that case, I would have the behavior specalist come in and observe in order to find a suitable replacement activity for the clicking. It could be only the sound of the clicks that make him happy, and perhaps he only needs something (music or another toy) that could do this for him while he utilizes a touchwindow to complete computer tasks. Perhaps in addition, a special cause-effect software can be installed on the computer so he can begin to learn proper mousing skills. If it's touch input he needs, then a toy that he could manipulate should be given to him while he works on the computer. Maybe he could be given a mouse that is not hooked up to the computer so he can click away to his heart's content, and then instructed to use a touchwindow to complete tasks.

Assignment Two (11/5)
Things to consider: 1) What accessible "tech" is already available within the classroom, e.g. highlighters, rulers, pencil grips, projectors, cameras, etc. 2) The comfort level that both the student and teacher(s) have with technology and whether or not they require training with software/computers/devices 3) How the solutions will fit into a student's/teacher's routine.

**Assignment One (10/29)**
I DON'T do AT evals, but I DO give AT consults. I DON'T promise anymore than I can deliver, but I DO deliver in a timely manner whenever possible! I DON'T give up on a solution for a student without drawing info from all my resources and colleagues, and I DO like to try multiple possibilities to find the most efficient and useful solution.
