Assistive Technology

 Assistive Technology is any device and/or service that is determined by
 the IEP Team to be needed to provide the student with  
equivalent access to  the curriculum. Assistive Technology must be  considered  for any  student receiving special education. (IDEA,2004)

Assistive Technology Team (ATT) members complete assessments to determine the need for Assistive Technology device and/or services in the area of augmentative communication and a documented fine motor/visual perceptual motor based written communication deficit. The ATT also provides Assistive Technology services to those students who require continued training, consultation to school staff on the integration of the
