Reports indicate that AT (services and devices) helps children, regardless of age or disabling condition to participate in everyday life activities; and therefore grow and develop.

Despite its effectiveness, AT use appears to be underutilized.

Assistive Technology Use with Young Children:
Myths and MythbustersCATEGORY MYTH/MYTHBUSTER BUSTER AIDS
AGE Children with disabilities ages birth - 5 are too young to benefit from AT; AT is not for children under 2; A child must be “old enough” to benefit from AT
MYTHBUSTER: Use of AT for even a short time has been shown to yield positive outcomes even for the youngest child/children

But… it is NOT documented!
Assistive Technology IS effectively being used by more children regardless of age or level of disability

When AT is used, lack of documentation impedes the ability to report on its effectiveness and the opportunity to link use with child outcomes.
