Any item, piece of equipment or product system, whether acquired commercially off the shelf,
modified, or customized, that is used to increase, maintain, or improve the functional
capabilities of children with disabilities.
Assistive technology, devices and services are provided to students
with disabilities through an IEP or 504 plan.
Although assistive technology can be used in any setting, we focus
on assistive technology in educational settings.
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 2004 requires that
assistive technology be considered at every IEP meeting.
Assistive technology planning occurs when an IEP team member
believes a student cannot complete an IEP goal or other educationally
relevant task without the use of one or more tools
