Assistive Technology

What is Assistive Technology?

According to IDEA:

"…any item, piece of equipment, or product system, whether acquired commercially, off the shelf, modified or customized, that is used to maintain or improve the functional capabilities of children with disabilities." - IDEA part B 34 C.F.R. Part 300

One more thought...

The primary goal of Assistive Technology is the enhancement of capabilities and the removal of barriers to performance AND to ensure FAPE (free and appropriate public education)
