Do I need to document AT in the IEP if the tool is available to all students/ a partner district -provided device?
Do I need to document AT in the IEP if the tool is available to all students/ a partner district -provided device?
Yes - Documentation ensures that the device is available to the student when it is needed. This supports the student if he/she moves to another school district, school building, or state where the same technology may not be available. Yes - A student’s use of AT enables the student to make progress toward IEP goals and to access the curriculum. Without the tool, the student would be unable to complete curricular requirements with the same level of success.This also applies to state assessment participation. Documenting the use of assistive technology tools for assignments, tests and district assessments ensures that the student is able to access the same supports to complete state assessments, as allowed.
