These planning guides are intended to help vocational rehabilitation programs and agencies identify important issues during preliminary discussions concerning possible use of assistive technology and technology-related services. They are designed to evaluate the effectiveness of current technology-related services, to implement or expand assistive technology services, and to develop quality assurance and program evaluation procedures. The guides were designed to be used in developing statewide technology service programs, but can also be utilized with individual technology units. The guides consist primarily of program evaluation forms provided in a questionnaire format. The materials are organized into four main sections: (1) guides for preliminary planning (includes setting service parameters, determining need for assistive technology services, consumer involvement, identifying program strengths/limitations, and integrating technology services); (2) guides for program development (includes deciding what services to offer, staff/personnel needs, selecting a service delivery model or approach, planning flow of services, and funding/program support); (3) guides for resource utilization (includes coordination of services, information resources, training resources, utilizing volunteers, and funding/program support); and (4) other (includes guides on set-up/layout, marketing, and quality assurance). A glossary defines assistive technology services, different impairments, service delivery models, and types of assistive technology. (CR)
