The
State-Wide Equipment Program (SWEP) registration and credentialing provides assurance that assistive technology is delivered by suitably qualified and skilled Assistive Technology (AT) Practitioners.
SWEP assigns AT Practitioners a green, amber or red credentialing level that reflects the increasingly level of complexity they can safely and effectively address within a specific AT category.
This credentialing level is assigned based on an assessment of eligibility, experience, training and skill. If you want to know more about eligibility you can click here .
All registration and credentialing requests are measured against the registration and credentialing standard, 'The Standard'. To find out more about your profession or area of practice go to The Standard.
