Assistive technology must be covered as part of the Individual Education Plan (IEP) and Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP) process for every child. The IEP and IFSP Team must consider whether assistive technology is necessary for the student to:
- Achieve education or social goals
- Gain meaningful benefit from the education
- Make reasonable progress in the least restrictive environment
ATP staff provide guidance to the IEP and IFSP Team on assessing and selecting appropriate assistive technology.
