Supporting Student Needs Through Assistive Technology: A Guide for Georgia Educators

The Georgia Project for Assistive Technology assists educators in identifying and addressing assistive technology needs for students with disabilities. Per legal guidelines, IEP teams must determine whether students require assistive devices or services to meet educational goals. This resource provides a framework for evaluating student needs, promoting independence, and documenting the use of assistive technology in IEPs. With guiding questions and outcomes, educators can effectively integrate technology solutions to enhance student learning and achievement.
