Switch Access Measure certification
This training course is designed for people who work with individuals who need to use switches with their assistive technologies, such as therapists, teachers or researchers in the disability field.
Switch Access Measure is an assessment which professionals working with people living with disability can use to find the right switching technology for each individual’s complex needs and abilities. The Switch Access Measure (SAM) is a dynamic, goal directed, activity based and repeatable assessment method.
After this course, you can become a certified user of SAM by also completing an online assessment and online certification tasks.
