Assistive Technology (AT) service is defined as any service that directly assists a child with a disability in the selection, acquisition, or use of an assistive technology device. In general, an assistive technology device is a device used by individuals with disabilities to compensate for functional limitations and to increase autonomy and learning. An AT device may be used to support students with disabilities in three main areas:
- Communication aid for nonverbal individuals;
- Sensory aid; or
- An aid to enable multi-physically disabled students to control their environment.
AT provides evaluation, training, and equipment for students with disabilities. In addition, AT provides training and technical assistance for classroom teachers.
