BVSD  Assistive Technology Referral - Fast Track -- This referral is to request access to the premium features of Read&Write for Google. These features include word prediction, voice notes, the ability to annotate PDFs, dictionaries, screenshot reader and study tools.  Completed Fast Track referrals will be reviewed by the AT team and if determined to be appropriate, the student will be given access. This process does not include an in-person meeting or follow up with the AT Team. If you feel the student's needs exceed this process and want to request a full Assistive Technology evaluation, please complete a full Literacy Evaluation Form. *** REMINDER: no referral needed for access to Voice Typing and Text Reader (simply download the FREE version of Read&Write for Google.)

AT Referral Form - full Literacy Evaluation-- This referral is to request a complete writing/literacy Assistive Technology Evaluation for students who might require unique accommodations and/or access to grade level curriculum.

AT Referral Form - Physical Access Evaluation -- This form is to request an Assistive Technology Evaluation for students who have physical challenges which impact their ability to interact with the school environment.
