Not all resources have to be provided - just enough for the child to be sufficiently supported and able to perform satisfactorily in the classroom. -Mariah Menendez]]> 2019-06-08 02:33:39 UTC https://padlet.com/bmdgon25/yfr9irz0wchg/wish/366454642 Providing Assistive Technology Lfarr0316 https://padlet.com/bmdgon25/yfr9irz0wchg/wish/366461956 It is mandated that the schools provide ALL assistive technology a student has been identified to need. In many incidents, this is just enough for the student to perform satisfactorily in their classroom and can be out of date or difficult to use in comparison to the new updated version. In some cases, if the family can afford it they can provide the newer version if they see fit, but is not necessary for the student to learn in their classroom. - Lauren Farr]]> 2019-06-08 05:06:35 UTC https://padlet.com/bmdgon25/yfr9irz0wchg/wish/366461956 Harley Brennan harley_brennan https://padlet.com/bmdgon25/yfr9irz0wchg/wish/367435686 Schools must supply all AT that is in need by a student in order to comply with FAPE. However, that does not mean that they must provide the most high-tech and up-to-date AT. While all AT must be considered, the school will provide the AT that will proficiently aid the student in the classroom. ]]> 2019-06-13 15:30:30 UTC https://padlet.com/bmdgon25/yfr9irz0wchg/wish/367435686 Brea Bush breabush https://padlet.com/bmdgon25/yfr9irz0wchg/wish/367445760 These laws are the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.]]> 2019-06-13 16:24:18 UTC https://padlet.com/bmdgon25/yfr9irz0wchg/wish/367445760 Alyssa Lopez alyssa_l_lopez https://padlet.com/bmdgon25/yfr9irz0wchg/wish/367522494 Schools are required by law to provide and consider a students individual needs and usage of assistive technology. This however, does not mean a student's parent should not be involved in this process. It takes a network of people to determine the best outcome for the student. ]]> 2019-06-14 02:33:32 UTC https://padlet.com/bmdgon25/yfr9irz0wchg/wish/367522494 Rachel Fort https://padlet.com/bmdgon25/yfr9irz0wchg/wish/367523634 Legally, schools are required to provide all AT for students who need it according to their IEP. Harley made a good point that schools are not required to provide the most updated AT. The reality is often different than what is on paper or required by the law due to limited funding or poor management in schools. ]]> 2019-06-14 02:43:47 UTC https://padlet.com/bmdgon25/yfr9irz0wchg/wish/367523634 Thelma Ramos thelmaramos94 https://padlet.com/bmdgon25/yfr9irz0wchg/wish/367530993

Yes, the schools have the right to indicate what assistive technology/ resources will benefit the student more even if the parent disagrees. As along as the schools have record and showing progress and documentation the school will be following the requirements under these laws.
