Let’s cover the basics...

What is Assistive Technology (AT)?• Assistive technology devices are identified in the IDEA 2004
as: Any item, piece of equipment or product system, whether acquired commercially off the shelf, modified, or customized, that is used to increase, maintain, or improve the functional capabilities of children with disabilities.
![Page 14: Dynamic Duos! · Hello! Rachael Langley, MA, CCC-SLP, AAC Specialist RachaelLangleyAAC@gmail.com Robin Pegg, MEd, COTA/L, ATP, AT Consultant rpegg2014@gmail.com](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050402/5f8011463b136965291afb95/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
How does AAC fit into AT?• Augmentative/Alternative Communication (AAC) is a
subset of the larger field of AT. Communication needs should be reflected through a consideration/assessment process, using a dynamic implementation plan, and documented within the IEP. However additional considerations apply when AAC is considered.

“For individuals with congenital disabilities, AAC intervention is considered whenever a gap exists between the communication abilities of the AAC user and those of his or her peers.” - ASHA.org
![Page 38: Dynamic Duos! · Hello! Rachael Langley, MA, CCC-SLP, AAC Specialist RachaelLangleyAAC@gmail.com Robin Pegg, MEd, COTA/L, ATP, AT Consultant rpegg2014@gmail.com](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050402/5f8011463b136965291afb95/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
“"We have discovered increasingly that communication has only one prerequisite; it has nothing to do with mental age, chronological age,
prerequisite skills, mathematical formulae, or any of the other models that have been developed to decide who is an AAC candidate and who is not.
Breathing is the only prerequisite that is relevant to communication. Breathing equals life, and life
equals communication. It is that simple." - Mirenda, 1993

Just like a piano alone doesn’t make a pianist, nor does a basketball make an athlete, an AAC device alone doesn’t make one a competent, proficient communicator.

What does the law say?IDEA 2004 requires IEP teams to consider the assistive technology needs of all children with disabilities. (20 U.S.C. 1414(d)(3)(B)(v))The IEP team makes decisions about assistive technology devices and services based on your child’s unique needs so that he can be more confident and independent. The law requires schools to use assistive technology devices and services "to maximize accessibility for children with disabilities." (20 U.S.C. 1400(c)(5)(H))If the IEP team determines that your child needs assistive technology devices and services, the school district is responsible for providing these and cannot use lack of availability or cost as an excuse.Note: Assistive technology is not a substitute for teaching your child to read and write.

On March 22, 2017, the U.S. Supreme Court issued another unanimous ruling in favor of children with special needs and their parents.Purpose of IDEA: Congress Acted to Remedy Children Excluded from School with Tragic Pervasive Stagnation
Justice Roberts noted that “[T]the broad purpose of the IDEA, an ‘ambitious’ piece of legislation enacted ‘in response to Congress’ perception that a majority of handicapped children in the United States ‘were either totally excluded from schools or [were] sitting idly in regular classrooms awaiting the time when they were old enough to drop out.’ . . . A substantive standard not focused on student progress would do little to remedy the pervasive and tragic academic stagnation that prompted Congress to act.” (Page 11)The Court emphasized that full inclusion is the primary standard with the “child progressing smoothly through the regular curriculum.” However, if the child is not fully included, then the school officials must look to the child’s unique needs to develop an IEP which is “pursuing academic and functional advancement.”

LawRequires consideration of all areas for FAPE to be in place. More and more lawsuits include references to access.
DevicesThis is an area of expertise in itself; whether it’s AT or AAC.This is also a very fast-changing field
CollaborationCollaboration makes for a richer, more thorough slate of supports for the student. Also ensures critical areas are not missed.
MoneyMore knowledge, more expertise, more collaboration = less mistakes = less money.Mistakes can be expensive.
CoachingTeach them to fish.Change the paradigms.Preach the gospel of AT/AAC.
