Overview

Authors: Joy Zabala & Penny Reed

Assistive technology (AT) devices and strategies have proven successful in giving students with disabilities access to the general curriculum. Before AT can be used, a thorough review of the student needs, abilities, environmental factors and required tasks must take place. Identifying solutions that best address student outcomes is an ongoing process.

Information in this module addresses the following topics:

  • Consideration of AT for students with disabilities

  • Components of AT assessment

  • The assessment process

  • Integration of AT devices + services into the IEP.
