Welcome to the Library!

What Is Assistive Technology? Assistive Technology is any tool or device that a student with a disability uses to do a task that he or she could not otherwise do without it or any tool the student uses to do a task more easily, faster, or in a better way. It can be a simple low tech device such as a pencil grip or an expensive high tech device such as a computer or speaking device.

Why is AT Important & Who Benefits From It? AT has the powerful potential of impacting significantly upon a student with disabilities by contributing to his or her learning, independence, self esteem, and quality of life. Any student with a disability, from mild to severe, may benefit from the use of assistive technology. Assistive technology is available for individuals with reading, writing, remembering, walking, sitting, seeing, hearing, and/or communicating disabilities. Any student who needs help with any of these life functions may benefit significantly from the use of assistive technology.

What Services Are Offered? As of July 1, 1998, ALL special education students must have the consideration of assistive technology (AT) documented in their IEP. In order to help school districts provide these needed services, an assistive technology coordinator and lending library are available through CESA 8. There are over 350 items in the lending library for usage on a 3-5 week lending period. Assessments, consultations, and special group equipment buys are also available.
