Process of selecting educational apps

Not only in the core area of math, but in all subjects, the selection of AT educational apps must pertain to the needs and modifications for the individual student. The beauty of the AT selection process, and also the burden, is the expansive options the AT team has. Even if students' have the same diagnosis, the same AT device may not be right for both.

Educators and AT team members can use a checklist to help deduce the parameters for the educational software device usage. Some questions to answer are;
1. To what end is the software to be used for?
2. Does the content of the educational application match the goal to be attained?
3. Does it match the students' needs? Can the student use it?
4. Flexibility of the application- can the teacher or student modify setting controls to further accommodate?
