How does AT get into a students IEP?
An IEP (an Individualized Education Plan) is the document created by the school team, parents (and even the student if they are able!) that identifies the student’s educational goals and directs the educational program to help the student accomplish those goals. Each special education student has an IEP. The current special education law known as IDEA’97 states that an “Annual consideration of assistive technology devices and services is required for all children identified as having an exceptional need. The Colorado SWAAAC Teams help evaluate assistive technology needs and participate in the process of getting the use of the AT device written into the student’s IEP.
