The feature matching process is familiar to professionals involved in AAC assessments, but it can also be applied to selecting other forms of technology. In today’s featured post, Dr. Therese Willkomm discusses a variety of tools and resources to apply the feature match concept to selecting apps for learning, writing, independent functioning, and more. Hosted by the Center on Technology and Disability, this archived webinar shows us how to analyze apps based on student goals and the skills needed to effectively use the app for the intended goal.
