Annual Report to Congress on the "Assistive Technology Act of 1998," as Amended, for Fiscal Year 2006
Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, US Department of Education
The "Assistive Technology Act of 1998," as amended by Public Law 108-364 ("AT Act of 1998," as amended) requires that the secretary of education submit to Congress a report on the activities funded under that act. Specifically, the secretary of education is required to annually provide to Congress: (1) a compilation and summary of the information provided by the states in annual progress reports; and (2) a summary of the state applications and an analysis of the progress of the states in meeting the measurable goals established in state applications under Sec. 4(d)(3) of the "AT Act of 1998," as amended. This document satisfies this requirement for FY 2006. Following an overview of the legislation that preceded the "AT Act of 1998," as amended and description of the amendments made by P. L. 108-364, this report is organized as follows: (1) Part I reports on the FY 2006 performance of state grants for assistive technology programs as authorized under Sec. 4 of the "AT Act of 1998," as amended; (2) Part II describes the FY 2006 performance of alternative financing programs funded under Title III of the "Assistive Technology Act of 1998" as in effect prior to the amendments of 2004 ("AT Act of 1998"); (3) Appendix A includes a table describing the activities conducted under the state grants for AT program during FY 2006; (4) Appendix B includes a description of the activities each state planned to carry out over the three-year period from FY 2006 through FY 2008, as of May 2007; (5) Appendix C lists the state grants for AT programs (referred to as statewide AT programs); and (6) Appendix D is a listing of alternative financing programs funded under Title III of the "AT Act of 1998."
