AT Consideration in the IEP Process
Documenting assistive technology (AT) in the individualized education program (IEP) is sometimes a daunting task. This module will describe ways that AT devices and services can be indicated in the IEP. Proper documentation of AT in the IEP ensures that students will receive the necessary AT and the corresponding services to enable them to access and participate in the school environment.
