Why am I an ATP?• Background is a COTA/L• Worked with children with physical disabilities• Could assist with improvement or delay regression, but
couldn’t always bridge the gap between personal abilities and the skills to be accomplished
• We’ve gone to the MOON! Surely, there’s something out there to help!

Technology vs Tools vs AT
We all use many types of technology, tools, and equipment.
While the definition of AT states “used by”, in practice; the defining idea changes from used by to “required or necessary.”
