About

AIM

Read full description

This AIM (Accessible Instructional Materials) VA Navigator App is the mobile form of an online resource that facilitates the process that guides the work of a collaborative team as they work through the AIM-related needs of individual students. It is not a screening or diagnostic tool. The Navigator consists of a series of guiding questions to assist teams with decision-making about need, selection, acquisition, and use of accessible instructional materials. Learning supports for completing each decision-making step are available throughout. The AIM Navigator App collects the decisions made, along with any notes entered into the text boxes. These decisions and notes are included in a summary that can be viewed, saved, e-mailed, and/or printed at the end of the process.
