A Student's Guide to the IEP A New Resource to Help IEP Teams Address Assistive Technology Needs The IDEA '97 requires IEP teams to consider whether the child requires assistive technology devices and services. Assistive technology is any tool that helps a student with a disability perform a functional task more easily or more successfully. This new resource is called the "Assistive Technology Consideration Quick Wheel"(AT Quick Wheel). It is a fun, hands-on resource that offers quick and easy access to a generic list of AT tools for a variety of tasks. On one side of the Wheel are federal definitions of AT devices and services. The other side provides information about a variety of resources including book, journals, newsletters, and Internet sites.
