| | Family Guide to Assistive Technology |
 | | Assistive technology can be a related service just like audiology, physical therapy, or speech if it is necessary for the student to benefit from his or her education. | | | Formal evaluations for assistive technology must be multi-disciplinary, involving educators and therapists who are knowledgeable about the school curriculum and the particular types of impairments that the student being assessed may have. | | | Kayla's story illustrates how assistive technology can be utilized from an early age and can be part of the transition from medical treatment to early intervention and from early intervention into preschool special education or regular education. |
