Supplementary Aids and Services
Assistive technology may also be addressed in the supplementary aids and services component of the IEP. Assistive technology is often provided as a supplementary aid and service when required for a student to participate in general education classes or other education-related activities among children without disabilities. While federal law does not require that the provider of supplementary aids and services be identified specifically in the IEP, some state and local educational agency (LEA) IEP forms do request for this information. It is recommended that IEP teams identify the provider(s) during their discussions even if it’s not on the form.
The following are examples of how assistive technology may be addressed in the Supplementary Aids and Supports section DMSELPA form DM 68E:
Accommodations/Supports Needed for Participation in Statewide/Districtwide Assessments: The IEP team must determine the accommodations and supports that the child requires in order to participate in statewide and districtwide assessments. For some children with disabilities, assistive technology may be required accommodation.
