CCSU Assistive Technology Assessment Plan Data Collection Sheets Student: Age: Date: Error: Reference source not found Special Educator (Case Manager): Team Member(s) Collecting Data: Data collected will vary significantly according to the type of Assistive Technology that is being trialed. For example, for a communication device the trial will be how many times the student successfully presses the correct button or key out of all the attempts, and the total number of attempts would be at least 80 – 100. Use either of the Data Collection Sheets provided below or create your own data collection tool. Data Collection Sheet #1 for
