ASSISTIVETECHNOLOGY
IDEA 2004 (300.5) Assistive technology device.
Assistive technology device means anyitem, piece of equipment, or product system,
whether acquired commercially offthe shelf, modified, or customized, that
is used to increase, maintain, or improvethe functional capabilities of a child witha disability. The term does not include a
medical device that is surgically implanted,or the replacement of such device.

Needs vs. Wants
Does the child need a piece of assistive technology to access the general education curriculum.
Will the device level the playing field in order for a child to function in a general education classroom.
Will the device promote independence as opposed to enablement.
Does the characteristics of the device meet what the child needs.

Needs vs. Wants
Never match a child to a device. Match a device to a child based on the needs of the child.
If more than one device meets characteristics needed for student success, the most cost effective will be offered.
Parents may request a specific device but the school system is only required to provide a comparable device that meets student needs.

IDEA
Federal law requires any student receiving special education services under an IEP be considered for assistive technology on an annual basis. If assistive technology is provided as part of the IEP, the school system is responsible for purchase and maintenance of equipment to be used. This equipment is purchased with special education funds.
![Page 8: 504 Training – How the Pieces Fit Together](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052703/568130ff550346895d972fa3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Deciding on a device
The decision to provide equipment is a team decision.
If the school offers a piece of equipment and it is accepted then the system will be responsible for provision and maintenance.
If the parent rejects the device and wants to provide a more expensive device, it is a team decision on whether or not to accept the device.
![Page 9: 504 Training – How the Pieces Fit Together](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052703/568130ff550346895d972fa3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Deciding on a device
If the team allow the parent to provide the other device, it must be made clear that the school will not be responsible for any damage to the device while in school because the school offered a comparable device to meet student needs.
If the team decides on a parent owned device to save cost of purchase, the school will be responsible for damage while on school property.

504 Loan
If special education has unused equipment available for use in 504 plans it can be checked out through the 504 Coordinator. With the stipulation if an IEP student needs the equipment and none is available, it will be pulled from the 504 student for use with the IEP student.
![Page 11: 504 Training – How the Pieces Fit Together](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052703/568130ff550346895d972fa3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
504 Loan
Should this happen, The school is still responsible for providing the 504 child with the appropriate equipment to meet his educational needs. Alternative funding to provide the equipment needs to be addressed.
Please contact your 504 coordinator.

RTI2 Framework
Students may be referred for a 504 evaluation at any time
The more intense the tier of intervention, the greater the likelihood a 504 evaluation should be pursued.
504 evaluations should be pursued if/when a substantial limitation is suspected, regardless of if a student is serviced in the tiers

RTI2 Framework
RTI is a general education initiative. If a parent revokes consent for either IDEIA or 504, the student continues to be eligible for RTI.
Keep in mind that RTI for us is currently focusing on academics, but students may have significant impairment in social-emotional, behavioral, attendance, etc. – which may be considered under 504

Support Team
Purpose is to problem-solve Support Team does not trump 504 If eligible for 504 and referred to Support Team,
this must be communicated to the S-Team chair If eligible for IDEIA, this must be communicated to
the 504 chair. IEPs trump 504.
