The AT Teams Project is designed to take place over the duration of the school year, broken into three units. Unit 1 (summer) is a two-day, intensive workshop in Laramie where teams have the opportunity to meet one another, become familiar with WIND and WATR, and lay critical groundwork for the project. Unit 2 (fall) covers topics related to conducting an AT assessment, and Unit 3 (spring) discusses implementation strategies.

As teams work through the course, they will be developing or revising a document outlining their district or region's procedures for conducting an AT assessment. This will be a living document throughout the course, and after each module, teams will be expected to apply what they have learned by making edits as necessary to their document. By the end of Unit 2, teams should have a rough draft or outline. Teams will continue making changes during the third unit as we learn important implementation strategies. At the end of Unit 3, teams should have a final draft. Between the end of Unit 3 and the end of the school year, the draft should be complete and receive approval from any necessary administration.

Through completion of this project, teams should be able to work cohesively to identify students who may benefit from AT, assess AT options and effectiveness, train students and staff on the use of AT, write AT and goals into the IEP or 504, and help students learn to advocate for themselves and their AT as they transition. Resources and handouts are provided throughout the course, and teams have many opportunities through quizzes, assignments, case studies, and discussions to check their knowledge and collaborate. WIND and WATR staff check in with teams regularly, and are always available to answer questions.
