What IDEA-funded services does LIU offer? 

Request for Assistive Technology Training & Consultation for Staff (IDEA-Funded)

Assistive Technology Training and Consultation (TAC) services are federally funded through IDEA Part B and are available to all public schools for the purpose of building school capacity. TaC services function as a specialized resource for school districts by providing technical assistance, on-site consultation, guided practice, professional development, and professional learning communities for assistive technology. 

AT TaC services are IDEA funded for public school employees in the LIU and in public school districts within the LIU 12 footprint for the purpose of building capacity. These services are at no cost to districts. Non-Public schools are welcome to use this service, however, a fee will be charged.   District and IU teams and staff may request AT training and consultation related to the needs of trialing AT or general AT training.  These services are for staff and do not involve direct student contact (i.e., working directly with students) but rather are intended to support the IEP team.
