Rationale: Assistive technology
Assistive technology has the potential to enable students with disabilities, including students with high-incidence disabilities, to fully access instruction and demonstrate their capabilities. Because the ideal time for such children to learn to use assistive technology is when learning other K-12 skills, assistive technology should be included in Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). Special education teacher candidates should be fully familiar with the potential and uses of assistive technology.
