HELPFUL TIPS BEFORE ORDERING

1. First, check with your child's therapist or teacher to get recommendations for the software and/or equipment that best matches your child's needs and supports his/her educational program.


2. Purchase equipment that meets your child's needs at the present time - do not try to buy something your child might need later. Remember, in the future, newer technologies will be available that may better serve your child's needs.


3. Don't purchase too much at one time--- focus your child's time and energy on becoming competent with one communication device and/or software program at a time.


4. If possible, borrow equipment from your school so you can try it before you buy it.


5. Before purchasing software and hardware, make sure that it is compatible with your home computer (MAC or PC), and that your computer has all the necessary requirements (memory, sound card, peripherals) to run it. If you have any questions, contact the manufacturer.


6. If you need financial assistance to purchase assistive technology for your child, please contact Tony Rice or Michael Dalto (MD A.T. Guaranteed Loan Program, 1-800-TECH-TAP) for information on low interest loans.
