students with disabilities in all areas related to their disabilities, as appropriate, for each student and must be considered by the IEP team, based upon the student’s assessed needs and strengths. It is important to use a collaborative school-based team approach in education settings for assessment, planning, and provision of needed assistive technology, which includes individuals who are knowledgeable about the student’s disability needs and strengths in the area of assistive technology.
The Wisconsin Assistive Technology Initiative (WATI) developed a “checklist” of additional examples of assistive technology which may be needed by students.
It is also important to consider and use the technology purchased with state and federal technology funds for all students (e.g., computers, basic software), and to request funding for students with disabilities who do not have access to the technology purchased with these funds.
