AT devices are an important aspect of a student’s success
but an IEP is the building blocks of a student’s success. The next couple posts will focus on IEPs,
their goals, and AT devices that help meet these goals.
AT, as defined in previous posts, is a device or piece of
equipment that is used to increase, maintain, or improve the capabilities of
children with disabilities. AT also
includes services that assists children in the selection, purchasing, or use of
the AT device. IDEA states that very
student that has an IEP should be considered for AT devices and services by the
IEP team. The process of assessing if a
child needs AT devices or services is a continual process.
I am studying to be an educator knowing that the students’
success always comes first. For some
students to succeed, they need AT devices.
This important information can be used when I am part of an IEP team
myself.
