Assistive Technology (AT) enables people with disabilities to participate more fully in all aspects of their lives (home, school, and community). AT can also help students access their right to a free and appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment.

 

This workshop will discuss AT in the IEP:

* developing a well-written PLAAFP statement to include the difficulties the student is experiencing

* establishing goals to address difficulties

* creating an implementation (followthrough) plan

*  AT tools and resources
