Assistive Technology
Assistive Technology (AT) is any tool or device that helps a person with a disability function more effectively or independently at home, school, work or play. Assistive technology aso includes the services that enable students to benefit from these devices. These services can include: training the student and classroom staff in its use, consulting on the positioning or mounting of the device and coordination with other services. By law, IEP teams must consider the use of AT for all students with disabilities.
AT devices and services are not limited to students with any particular severity or category of disability. They can help ALL students with disabilities. Devices range from “low tech” inexpensive items, "mid tech" through “high tech” costly and sophisticated items.
