Assistive Technology

Consideration: Additional Considerations for Areas of Special Education

• Assistive Technology access - how will students who use assistive technology to learn gain access to it? Most are technologies are kept in the school building or parents are not trained to use the equipment

• How will students with complex needs (autistic, life skills, etc.) be serviced? Do they need 1-1 instruction?

• How will students who are special education and do not have access to technology be serviced?

• How will IEPs/SDIs be monitored?
