Assistive Technology
"For people without disabilities, technology makes things easier. For people with disabilities, technology makes things possible."
-- IBM Training Manual (1991)

Did You Know?

- Assistive technology (AT) may include any piece of equipment, software, or product that improves, increases, or maintains functional abilities of individuals with disabilities.
- Every IEP meeting requires the team (which includes parents) to consider whether a child with a disability needs assistive technology.
- Know your rights so you can request assistive technology for your child, if needed. Below are resources to inform and assist you.
- If your child was denied AT and you believe it is needed to compensate for your child's disabilities, call Academic Success Advocates for help.
