Technical Report - The Assistive Technology Infusion Project (ATIP)

Summary

This report summarizes the outcomes information that can be gleaned from a database that was developed in the process of administering a large grant to infuse assistive technology into the Ohio public schools. The administration process was extensive, yielding a wealth of information. Because assistive technology outcomes were considered when designing the grant administration process, a number of data fields relate to the measurement of outcomes. Further analysis will be required to determine the information most salient to the measurement of outcomes. There are a number of features of this database that may contribute to the development of an outcome measurement system. Of particular interest is the incorporation of outcomes measurement into the service delivery and administration process; the successful use of online data collection; and the use of a tool for collecting information on the relative contribution of various interventions.
