Abstract

In 2007, the Portuguese Ministry of Education established a network of 25Centers of ICT Resources for Special Education (CRTIC). These centers,among other missions, are responsible for the assessment of students withSpecial Educational Needs (SEN) towards the implementation of assistivetechnologies. In this paper we present the main findings of a study developedunder this context, which aimed to understand the practices currentlyunderway in these Centers, particularly in what concerns the strategies andmodels used in the assessments of students with SEN for assistivetechnologies use. The study was based on a multi-methodological paradigmas we analyzed data obtained by a questionnaire applied to all the centers, aswell as their activity reports and some interviews. Sustained by the practicesdescribed and analyzed, we have conceptualized and prototyped a proposalfor a support platform, called "Rede NEE" [SEN Network], which includesstrategies that may facilitate the monitoring of the assigned assistivetechnologies.
