By Bassler, Stephanie; Access World, Vol. 6, No. 5

Article provides tips and advice for people who want to provide training in how to use assistive technology. The following areas of effective training are covered: (1) lesson plans, (2) objectives, (3) materials, (4) procedure, (5) assessment, and (6) review. The author discusses the differences between showing a person how to use technology and actually teaching them to use it in an effective manner. Teaching involves a more complicated process, as students benefit from in-depth introductions and systematic procedures that go beyond simple demonstrations.
