IEP and AT

AT devices are very important for students especially with special needs. The last Module describe many types of At devices that are very helpful for students. The next posts are going to be focused on how IEPs are the beginning steps of students receiving AT devices. Therefore, the devices that have been explained, are going to be described when they are properly used for students. The process requires much review to meet the needs for the success of the students.

AT devices were discussed in the previous posts. The devices are different equipment used to help students’ learning to be easier and more comfortable. There are many options and difference between low and high tech to fit different needs and disabilities. AT also includes different services for students. The teachers and staff are usually trained to work with these AT devices to help assist the students. However, before a device is placed into a classroom, the IEP team needs to evaluate what the student needs.

As a teacher, I am working towards my special education certification. I know I will be faced with these challenges as I get more into this field. Therefore, it is very important to be knowledgeable about the IEP process.
