The mission of the AISD Assistive Technology Department is to maximize student achievement through ongoing consultation and training of campus support teams in a student-centered assessment process that leads to the determination and implementation of appropriate and effective Assistive Technology solutions.
Throughout history, the personal challenges created by disabilities have inspired the invention of technology. Today, we refer to these accommodations as Assistive Technology ( A T ).
To be eligible for Assistive Technology, a student must have an identified
disability that is either recognized under the Individuals
with Disabilities Education Act 2004 (I D E A), or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation
Act. Assistive Technology services relate specifically to Assistive Technology
tools.
