| AT can be a form of supplementary aid or services utilized to facilitate a child's education in a regular educational environment. As students are guaranteed placement in the least restrictive environment (LRE), these aids and services help to enhance or maintain their placement, especially when the LRE is the regular education classroom. These and other modifications must be included on the IEP. AT is most logically included here when it provides more independence and requires little instruction in order to be used effectively. Items such as portable word processors, talking spell checkers, and other small, portable devices are often listed. | |
| Jacob is in kindergarten. He likes to do the coloring and writing activities with the other children. He has difficulty with these activities because he is subject to the STNR (symmetric tonic neck reflex) which causes him to round his shoulders and flex his arms whenever he bends his head down to look at the paper. Looking down and back up at the teacher is very fatiguing for him. It is important to Jacob to participate in the same way as the rest of the students. | Supplementary Aids & Services | Frequency | Duration | Location | | Slant top table for all writing, coloring, drawing and painting activities | Daily | school year | | | | | |
