Project OATS Final Report

I.   Purpose:

Project OATS (Outcomes of Assistive Technology in the Schools) was designed in response to the need to know the impact of assistive technology (AT) devices and services in the schools. Project OATS sought to develop and test instrumentation useful for assessing assistive technology outcomes in the school settings. Furthermore, Project OATS began identifying database fields useful for planning more effective interventions by linking outcomes to AT services.
