Many special education professionals are required to be expert at accommodation options for a wide range of disabling conditions—a task that is virtually impossible to keep up with, given the proliferation of assistive technology products and other accommodation procedures. vrXpert is a powerful internet-based system that provides research-based tools for documenting functioning and identifying specific accommodation products and services based upon the unique needs and vocational goals of each individual. The Functional Assessment includes a comprehensive format for identifying what an individual can and cannot do in a wide range of functional areas, and allows the use of a variety of disability templates that can be quickly individualized. U.S. Department of Labor O*NET data are incorporated into vrXpert to provide valuable information regarding job descriptions and job task requirements. The real power in vrXpert comes in its Needs Assessment feature, which performs a complex database analysis to develop a list of potential barriers or “needs” that may require accommodation. To do this, the Needs Assessment compares the results of a person’s Functional Assessment to the requirements of the desired job to identify the barriers that will need to be overcome. Furthermore, these “needs” are indexed to an accommodation database that holds over 20,000 products and service accommodation ideas. Each “need” can be clicked on to produce a list of accommodation ideas specifically designed to address the corresponding need.
