AT = Assistive Technology
|
Assistive Technology can be a device.
"Any item, piece of equipment, or product system, whether acquired commercially off the shelf, modified, or customized, that is used to increase, maintain, or improve the functional capabilities of a student with a disability. The term does not include a medical device that is surgically implanted, or the replacement of such a device." Assistive Technology can be a service. "Any service the directly assists a student with a disability in the selection, acquisition, or use of an assistive technology device." |
"This is just another way to learn."
