Undivided: Understanding AT in an IEP

What is assistive technology?

Sep. 15, 2022

Assistive technology is any device, software, or equipment that helps kids with disabilities access their education. AT plays a significant role in reducing barriers to learning, and it enables kids who learn and think differently to work around their challenges and play to their strengths.

Think of AT as:

A related service that augments your child’s learning
A partner to well-designed instruction
A tool to help your child be more self-confident, work more independently, and set and meet their goals.

For more information, see our article Assistive Technology (AT) 101.
