Assistive Technology Professional (ATP) Practice Test

The assessment process in assistive technology primarily focuses on understanding an individual's needs, gathering relevant information, and evaluating various potential solutions. This includes methods like gathering information about the individual’s capabilities and limitations, assessing their specific needs for assistive devices or services, and conducting trials with different technologies to determine what works best for them.

While providing ongoing therapy may be important in the broader context of supporting individuals with disabilities, it is not a component of the assessment process itself. Instead, ongoing therapy is typically a follow-up to the assessment, where the focus shifts to implementation and support of the assistive technology that has been deemed appropriate. Thus, the inclusion of therapy does not align with the assessment phase, which is specifically concerned with evaluation and decision-making regarding technology use.
