If, following an assessment, assistive technology is considered appropriate to meet a student’s needs, then it must be included in the IEP.  Though the exact phrase, “assistive technology” may not appear on the IEP, terms such as, accommodations, supports, program modifications or supplementary aids and services, may be used. 

For more information about how assistive technology can be incorporated into the IEP, view “Assistive Technology and the IEP” written by the Family Center on Technology and Disability.

The Learning Disability Association of America also offers a fact sheet with information on incorporating assistive technology into the IEP for students with learning disabilities.  Assistive Technology (AT) for Students with Learning Disabilities.
