RST CE: P202-08 (RESNA Exam Review Course)

RSTCE offers several resources for people to prepare for the RESNA Assistive Technology Professional (ATP) Certification Exam. This includes an 8-hour online/on-demand review course to assist students in developing a study plan as well as a series of online/on-demand lectures that provide more detail on various assistive technology subject areas.

RESNA Exam Review Course

This 8-hour (0.8 CEU) online course is designed for Rehabilitation Technology Suppliers, Clinicians, and others preparing for the RESNA ATP Generalist Exams. The course is specifically intended to review content areas of the exam to assist participants in identifying their strengths and deficits in preparing a plan of study. Materials and resources to study for the exam will also be shared and discussed. The course will address the process of providing Assistive Technology intervention including assessment of need, development of intervention strategies, and implementation of follow-up by covering the following:

Basics of anatomy, biomechanics, and pathology
Seating and wheeled mobility
Principles of design and development
Technologies for persons with sensory impairments
AAC, EADL, and computer access technologies
Service delivery
Test taking strategies

Note: This course was recorded in 2007. At that time, there were 2 certifications including the Assistive Technology Practitioner (ATP) and Assistive Technology Supplier (ATS). Since then, the certifications have been combined into the Assistive Technology Professional (ATP). The exam itself has been modified several times, with its last update taking place in March of 2017. However, the content of this course is still relevant in preparing for the general structure and baseline information of the exam.

How this Online Course Works

Once you register (see below), you will receive an email with the course website and a password which is valid for 15 days. Once you login you can view the courses and download copies of the handouts as well as the course evaluation which needs to be completed and returned in order to receive CEUs. Attendees also have the ability to send e-mail messages with questions to the lecturers.

The lectures use a program called Mediasite Live (MSL) where you can see and hear the lecturer as well as a power point presentation. Watching a presentation using the MSL Viewer is virtually the same as being in the room with the presenter. All lectures are available on-demand any time during the 15 days.
