The Fundamentals course provides interested individuals with an overview of numerous areas of assistive technology. It is also designed to broaden the knowledge of AT providers. Throughout this course, multiple case studies will be used to illustrate applications of principles and theories in assistive technology provision.

While this course is designed to cover the basic areas of assistive technology service provision and aspects of this course may cover the general scope of the ATP certification exam, it is not a review course for the ATP exam.
