The director of special education will reconvene the IEP team to review the report findings and recommendations of the assessment and determine whether or not AT services or devices/equipment are warranted. If the IEP team agrees that services are not needed, it will be documented in the IEP notes or under the IEP Consideration of Special Factors form (D/M 68E page 2) and/or in the Supplementary Aids and Supports form (D/M 68E page 1).
