IDEA’97
IDEA addresses AT in two ways:
I. In the inclusion of definitions of “assistive technology devices and assistive technology services. References are in both Part A, which covers the 3-21 age group and Part C, which covers the 0-3 age group.

Technology Needs to Promote Inclusion
Every computer is a special needs machine
Every computer should talkEvery program should work for every childAbility to overcome individual keyboard
and mouse problems on every machinePrioritized software for literacy and mathStudents are successfulEarly childhood emphasized Internet access for all studentsGrants/FundingEvery curriculum area emphasized

Elements to Consider to Promote the Use of Assistive
Technology Locate equipment where instruction and learning
are taking place. Technology needs to be in the classroom and
accessible to the child. Select light tech applications whenever possible. Integrate the use of technology into lessons in a
purposeful and meaningful way. Consider placing equipment in home. Offer training and technical support to classroom
teachers initially. Provide training to families. Don’t reinvent the wheel each year – when
possible use the technology already in place.
