    Study Notes

    The Importance of Assistive Technology in Communication Development

    • Assistive technology plays a crucial role in facilitating communication for individuals with severe motor impairments.
    • Infants and toddlers with motor impairments may have limited opportunities to develop speech and language due to their confinement from the environment.
    • The Speech/Language Pathologist (SLP) should be aware of the need for assistive technologies and advise parents of disabled infants and toddlers about language and speech problems and available options for habilitation.
    • The Individuals with Disabilities Education ACT (IDEA) requires IEP teams to consider whether the child requires assistive technology and services.
    • IDEA includes definitions for assistive technology device and service, which refer to any item, equipment, or service used to increase, maintain, or improve functional capabilities of a child with a disability.
    • Assistive technology service includes evaluation, acquisition, selection, design, fitting, customizing, adapting, maintenance, repair, replacement, coordination, and training.
    • Technology is just one strategy in a multifaceted approach to addressing the needs and strengths of students with disabilities.
    • IEP teams need to balance the degree of technology assistance with the student's learning potential, motivation, chronological age, developmental level, and goals/objectives.
    • Low-tech equipment and supports readily available in schools can accommodate the needs of students and be provided through the Student Study Team (SST)/IEP processes.
    • High-tech supports are for students with low incidence and/or significant/severe disabilities, which require more in-depth assessment.
    • Specialized equipment and support services include closed circuit television (CCTV), FM systems, augmentative communication devices, sound field systems, alternative computer access, and specialized software.
    • It is important to consider and use the technology purchased with state and federal technology funds for all students, including those with disabilities who do not have access to the technology purchased with these funds.
