AT Consideration In The IEP

IEP teams are required by law to consider whether AT is needed for an individual student regardless of their disability. Technology is an effective tool used by so many people to assist in some of their daily activities, and it should continue to be considered more as a tool to target certain obstacles of students.

These tools make the general education curriculum more accessible for students, and can enable a student with a disability to participate in the least restrictive environment. The IEP team needs to be familiar with current AT that is available so they can match possible AT solutions with the student's needs.

After reading I am starting to recognize how many things technology helps me with such as an alarm clock, a calendar, and a notepad to name a few. Students with disabilities should be no different and be able to access forms of technology to enhance their learning experience.
