SSD AT Mission Statement

As Assistive Technology Facilitators, we collaborate with IEP teams to identify, implement, and integrate assistive technology tools and communication systems to reduce or eliminate barriers, promote safety and self-advocacy, improve educational outcomes, and help students demonstrate their knowledge and skills. We promote independence and achievement in students with special needs through the integration of assistive technology into their individualized education program.

Assistive technology refers to any product, device, or equipment, whether acquired commercially, modified, or customized, that is used to maintain, increase, or improve the functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities. In other words, assistive technology tools are needed for the student to make progress on IEP goals and to address identified areas of concern that are documented in the IEP (i.e. goals/objectives, present level, accommodations/modifications) Section 1401 - Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. (2023). Sites.Ed.Gov.
