WELCOME TO ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY

What is Assistive Technology (AT)?

Assistive technology is any item, piece of equipment, or product system that is used to increase, maintain, or improve functional capabilities of a person with a disability.

The purpose of assistive technology is to reduce or eliminate the effects of a person’s disability and to eliminate barriers to access their environment and performance standards.   Assistive technology can help level the playing field for students with disabilities.  For many students with disabilities, assistive technology provides a way to participate more successfully in the general education curriculum.
