辅助技术（AT）有可能提高发展技能，并为儿童早期环境中被确定为残疾或有风险的学生所面临的行为，注意力和沟通等挑战提供解决方案。幼儿教育专业人员必须有AT知识和能力，有效地使用AT与幼儿，并包括在课程中。教师们共同承担责任，有效地帮助所有幼儿做好准备，发展重要的准备和识字技能，使他们能够成功地进入公立学校。本文讨论了AT用户组的有效性，准备教师纳入AT在幼儿设置。用户组对教师的好处，（即，增加的知识和技能，有效利用时间，合作，个性化的培训，和现场支持）以及分心和战略，涉及“新”教师进行了讨论。报告的儿童成果，如增加出席，行为和沟通也提出。
Assistive technology (AT) has the potential to increase developmental skills and provide solutions to challenges, such as behavior, attention, and communication, faced by students identified with disabilities or at risk in early childhood settings. Early childhood education professionals must have AT knowledge and competency to effectively use AT with young children and to include AT in the curriculum. Teachers share responsibility for effectively preparing all young children to develop important readiness and literacy skills enabling them to successfully participate in public school settings. This paper discusses the effectiveness of AT User Groups to prepare teachers to incorporate AT in the early childhood setting. User Group benefits to teachers, (i.e., increased knowledge and skills, effective use of time, collaboration, individualization of training, and onsite support) as well as distracters and strategies for involving “new” teachers are discussed. Reported child outcomes, such as increased attending, behavior, and communication are also presented.
