Note to Presenter:
	GAYL FIX THIS
	This presentation is intended for people who are or will be involved in assistive technology (AT) decision-making and implementation. The contents of this module focus on planning for the use of AT devices and services that “Admission, Review and Dismissal (ARD)” Committees (IEP Teams) have determined to be needed for students with disabilities to participate in educational activities, work toward mastery of Individualized Education Program (IEP) goals, progress within the general education curriculum, and benefit from a free, appropriate public education (FAPE).
	Although the principles of AT implementation included in this session are directly related to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEA 2004), the processes and strategies discussed are generally appropriate for AT implemented under other legislation, such as Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. The information and processes included in this module are not specific to the state of Texas and can be used with little or no change across the United States and beyond.
	Note:  In Texas, the IEP team is referred to as the ARD Committee.
