The University of Kentucky's special education department has a website dedicated to AT and the tools associated with it. The main goal of the website is to help educators thought the AT delivery process. Beginning with consideration and going all the way up to assessment and monitoring. This tool kit took 6 years to research and the college evaluated the locate public schools in Kentucky. 





The UKAT Toolkit includes seven tools:
  1. Consideration: preliminary tool used to see if AT meets a student's needs.
  2. Pre-Assessment Profile: tool to help gather information about the student. Helps assessors know where students are having difficulty. 
  3. Assessment Data Collection: helps with planning AT assessments. 
  4. Assessment Report Outline: helps condense assessment data for other team members.
  5. Trial Implementation: data reporting tool for AT trials. Also helps weed out what is helpful and what isn't helpful. 
  6. AT Implementation: planning future AT implementation. Also good to have at an IEP.
  7. Knowledge & Skills Survey: self rating scale.
The above listed tools are a great way to monitor students and evaluate their goals, objectives, and AT needs.
