If you've never used a mounting system offered by Loc-Line, you're in for a treat!! Although designed for use in a range of industrial settings, it didn't take long until some crafty OT's recognized the potential for using modular hose to create durable mounting systems.  Don't we all just LOVE crafty OT's? (I may be biased just a little...)  I even love that the company gave credit to this group on their brochure featuring their latest mounts.  You can download that here:  Modular Hose AT brochure 2016.

Loc-line materials can be purchased individually for creating or customizing mounts, or you can buy them pre-fabricated in various AT Kits designed to hold tablets and switches. Their newest offering, called Tablet-X is awesome (the brochure even says so!)  Visit their WEBSITE to take a look. They're lightweight, virtually unbreakable, very flexible, easily cleanable, and just plain fun to work with!

My name is Janice Reese and I LOVE assistive technology! I worked as an Occupational Therapist for more than 15 years, earned a Master’s degree in Education Technology, and I’m RESNA certified as an Assistive Technology Profession (ATP). I have worked in the school system for many years now and I love using technology to enhance the lives of children with disabilities. Since my first love is teaching, I’ve spent just as much time training wonderful teachers everywhere to use these tools in their classrooms. AT4Kids, llc was founded in 2008 in an effort to provide quality instruction and resources for teachers, therapists, student users and parents who wanted to know more about using AT.

I currently serve as Director of the Center for Assistive Technology, a state-supported program of the Little TN Valley Educational Cooperative. LTVEC is a non-profit agency whose goal is to provide rehabilitation services and accessibility supports for students with special needs in east Tennessee. My AT4Kids blog is designed to be as a one-stop resource for ideas and information for those wanting to learn more about the use of AT with children in the special education setting.

I hope to offer helpful hints, program and product reviews, AT recommendations, links to great new finds on the web, and lists of resources for “all things AT”.
