Assistive Technology Professional (ATP) Practice Test

The group primarily responsible for establishing standards for assistive technology professionals is the Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Society of North America (RESNA). RESNA plays a critical role in the development of professional standards and certification processes for individuals working in the field of assistive technology. By establishing these standards, RESNA ensures that professionals are qualified and equipped to provide quality services and support to individuals with disabilities.

RESNA's contributions include setting competencies for practice and defining ethical practices within the field, which are essential for both the integrity of the profession and the welfare of clients. Additionally, RESNA offers certification programs, such as the Assistive Technology Professional (ATP) certification, which further reinforces the importance of standards and best practices in assistive technology.

In contrast, the other groups listed may have roles in policy-making or support within disability services but do not specifically focus on establishing professional standards for assistive technology workers as RESNA does.
