Marshall H. Raskind & Brian R. Bryant introduce ...   FEAT Complete Kit $149 ...the Functional Evaluation for Assistive Technology (FEAT), an easy to use, systematic, comprehensive, multidimensional, and ecologically-based assessment protocol that can be used with people of all ages (i.e., elementary aged students through postsecondary adults). The scale can be used to determine the most appropriate and effective assistive technology devices to help individuals with learning problems (e.g., learning disabilities, mental retardation) compensate for their difficulties and meet the demands of specific tasks and contexts. FEAT At-A-Glance The FEAT has five scales: the Contextual Matching Inventory (which provides information about setting-specific demands), the Checklist of Strengths and Limitations (which is used to gather data regarding person-specific characteristics), the Checklist of Technology Experiences (which offers additional information about the person-specific characteristics with regard to her or his past/current use of technology), the Technology Characteristics Inventory (which examines device-specific characteristics such as dependability, product support, etc.), and the Individual-Technology Evaluation Scale (which is used to determine whether the proposed AT adaptation offers legitimate potential for compensatory effectiveness). The Summary and Recommendations Booklet is used to summarize the assessment information, make recommendations, and arrange for follow-ups to assess for effective implementation. The scales are completed by various members of the assistive technology assessment team and allow for an ecological assessment of assistive technology needs. The following shows who is responsible for completing each scale. Contextual Matching Inventory: Teacher, employer, family member, and/or student or employee interviewed by the AT Evaluation Team Leader Checklist of Strengths and Limitations: Teacher, employer, family member, and/or student or employee interviewed by the AT Evaluation Team Leader Checklist of Technology Experiences: Student or employee interviewed by the AT Evaluation Team Leader Technology Characteristics Inventory: AT Evaluation Team Leader Individual-Technology Evaluation Scale: AT Evaluation Team Leader Summary and Recommendations Booklet: AT Evaluation Team Leader (Complete FEAT Kit includes the Examiner's Manual, 25 copies of the Contextual Matching Inventory, 25 copies of the Checklist of Strengths and Limitations, 25 copies of the Checklist of Technology Experiences, 25 copies of the Technology Characteristics Inventory, 25 copies of the Individual-Technology Evaluation Scale, and 25 copies of the Summary/Recommendations Booklet) Click here to place an order Click here to return to the Home page.
