Assistive Technology Coordinators: Wisdom Shared Goal: To help school personnel start conversations about planning and integrating assistive technology into systemic school change. The assistive technology tools and devices mentioned in the video clips below are intended to serve only as examples of assistive technology. The tools and devices are by no means endorsed by Learning Point Associates but rather presented in this section to share knowledge gained by educators who have successfully used the tools and devices with their students. One should also keep in mind that in cases where assistive technology use with non-special-education students is mentioned, according to IDEA, it is no longer assistive technology but rather instructional technology. Guiding Questions for Administrators and Technology Staff Questions Video Clip Responses How has the assistive technology plan been developed at your district or school? Has it been designed with all students in mind? Who was involved in the process? Dr. Lynne Rauch

Practice Areas Special Education Law Experienced Special Education Law Firm attorneys Children with suspected educational disabilities are entitled to no-cost assessments by their school districts to determine their eligibility for special education services. This assessment is guaranteed by the Individuals with Disabilities Educational Act (IDEA), or through Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Action of 1973. Unfortunately, many school districts have budget dificulties and do not allocate sufficient funds for special education and/or special needs. In addition, some parents do not have a clear diagnosis or know the nature and extent of their child's learning disability. If a parent does not retain an experienced special education lawyer, the school district is unlikely to provide the appropriate intervention. Our role as your legal counsel is to identify the special needs and obtain the services to help your child reach his or her optimum level of education and growth. contact Business and Corporate Collection/Subrogation Commercial Litigation ...
