This manual is designed to provide Idaho educators, parents, students with disabilities, and related service providers with assistance in identifying, selecting, and acquiring assistive technology (AT) devices and services. The consideration of AT devices and services is required during the development of every Individualized Family Service Plan and every Individualized Education Program (IEP). The first section of the manual begins by explaining the importance of assistive technology in education and the challenge of delivering AT devices and services. Part 2 discusses assistive technology in special education law and includes an extensive list of case law related to adaptive equipment. Part 3 introduces a model of service delivery for AT, describes a series of quality indicators for AT services, and outlines how to include AT in the IEP. The suggested forms to use are included in this section. The final part discuses funding options for AT. Appendices provide a list of acronyms used in the manual, examples of AT for computer access and communication, examples of switches, examples of writing AT into the IEP, and a list of state and national resources for AT.
