AT CONSIDERATION IN THE IEP PROCESS
When completing this module I learned right off the back that the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) states that every IEP team is Required to consider the AT needs of every student who is receiving special education service. I thought that it was very interesting and important to know that. The AT devices and services can increase the student's quality of performance.
Although I have never created or sat in on an IEP, I am familiar with creating them and what type of goals, strengths and weaknesses the student may or may not meet. When completing this module I came across an example of documentation that the parent, the general teacher and special ed. teacher had completed on a fifth grade student struggling with writing.
There are many different techniques to IEP's, this module allowed me to understand many questions that are asked during an IEP and what technology does and does not work for students. I feel as if I learned a lot of new information about Assistive Technology with IEP's. If I were to be placed into an IEP meeting, the information I have obtained with help me tremendously.
