Infinitec and ISBE Knowledge-based Trainings
Overview of Assistive Technology
Under IDEA 2004, there are five areas that must be considered for students with disabilities. While most
are related to a specific disability (e.g., visual impairment or behavior), only one of the five must be
considered for all students, regardless of the type or severity of disability: Assistive Technology. This
presentation will introduce participants to a range of assistive technology. Whether it is
communication, access to the computer and curriculum, writing, reading, mobility, or activities of daily
living, this presentation will highlight how and when technologies become assistive technology. We’ll
provide an overview of the legal requirements related to assistive technology, as well as define assistive
technology device and assistive technology service. In addition, the new Illinois Assistive Technology
Guidance Manual and technical support website will be shared.
