  1. Assistive Technology According to The IRIS Center assistive technology is any device or service that helps a student with a disability to meet his or her IEP goals and to participate in the general education setting to the greatest possible extent.

  2. Law in Regard to AT • As stated in 34 CFR 300.308, each school district is required to insure that assistive technology devices and services are provided if needed. 34 CFR 300.308 Assistive Technology • Each public agency shall ensure that assistive technology devices or assistive technology services or both, as those terms are defined in 300.5 - 300.6 are made available to a child with a disability if required as a part of the child’s • (a) Special education under 300.17; • (b) Related services under 300.16; or • (c) Supplementary aids and services under 300.550(b)(2).

  3. Induction Loop • Works in coordination with a hearing aide in the “T” position. • Consist of a microphone, amplifier, & loop of wire. • The amplifier converts the sound into an eclectic current proceeding through the wire and then the hearing aide converts the sound for the listener.

  4. Large Display Talking Calculator • Large display for visually impaired. • Speech Output to help visually impaired learners with scientific, statistical, and trigonometric calculations. • Portable

  5. Flash Master • Portable Calculator • Large Buttons • Great for practicing Math Facts for struggling students.

  6. Elevated Sand Table • Wheelchair Accessible • Imaginative Fun • Collaborative Play • Sturdy
