Although this does not excuse their actions, it could be understood because of the number of children who need to be served at each school. While there is much to be done, if these committees are not fully doing their due justice now, they will just be meeting about these same children sometime in the near future.]]> 2018-06-10 12:41:32 UTC https://padlet.com/a_nstewart212/v2wp6b2qvbdy/wish/266465802 eapadilla3 https://padlet.com/a_nstewart212/v2wp6b2qvbdy/wish/267233906 I think it may have a lot to do with the fact that many schools may not have the appropriate resources to provide the student with the services they require.

This however, greatly affects the students whose education is at stake. More time will eventually be taken up when these children who are denied of services have to be revisited because they are not doing well academically. By this time though, they will have widened the gap for students with disabilities.

First, I think it is because they are not informed about the needs of AT for students. Schools might not be aware that a student needs AT. I also believe that funding might be an issue, although they are required to provide these services to students. Schools must provide students with the tools that they need to succeed academically.

Another reason may be because they don't have qualified people to do the work  or provide the services and if they do, maybe there isn't enough room because they don't have enough people who are qualified. ]]> 2018-06-15 03:29:41 UTC https://padlet.com/a_nstewart212/v2wp6b2qvbdy/wish/267310460 prestonlauren4 https://padlet.com/a_nstewart212/v2wp6b2qvbdy/wish/267312895 I think that there are many variables that attribute to a school denying AT services. Funding and resources can play a huge role in that. If a school is unable to provide the necessary AT for every student that needs it, then denials may take place to those who may not be as "qualified".]]> 2018-06-15 04:12:16 UTC https://padlet.com/a_nstewart212/v2wp6b2qvbdy/wish/267312895 Lfarr0316 https://padlet.com/a_nstewart212/v2wp6b2qvbdy/wish/267400705 There are quite a few different reasons why schools are denying student services. One common reason is that the administrators of the school truly believe they are doing what is best for the student. That the student needs to know how to learn or to function or learn without assistive technology or services, because it is not always going to be there in the real world (outside the school).

When the state limits how much money is correlated for each schools special education services the individual school and school districts have reason to limit how much can be spent on anything, including AT. Furthermore, a lot of educators in the school system lack the knowledge and training on how to provide effective services for individuals with disabilities.]]> 2018-07-27 19:31:15 UTC https://padlet.com/a_nstewart212/v2wp6b2qvbdy/wish/271305512
