Assistive technology is not one-size-fits-all, the right tools should be individualized to remove barriers and help each child access learning, communicate, and become more independent. 💜 Parents, advocate for a comprehensive AT assessment that identifies what your child truly needs, not simply the universal tools that are easiest to provide.

A Section 504 Plan provides accommodations and supports that remove barriers and ensure a student with a disability has equal access to education.

An IEP provides specially designed instruction, measurable goals, and related services for a student whose disability requires special education to make appropriate educational progress.
