It explains the legal definition and goals of AT, categories and the AT continuum, and how AT differs from other school technologies. The manual connects AT to IDEA requirements, including FAPE and LRE, and outlines responsibilities for schools, LEAs, parents, and the IEP team. It further addresses AT’s relationship to state standards, AIM, universal design, differentiated instruction, MTSS, and Section 504, then details the AT process phases such as consideration, provision, implementation, and performance monitoring.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":35,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/healthcare/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/illinois-assistive-technology-guidance-manual-2020-edition-setting-the-vision-for-assistive-technology-in-schools/535515/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/illinois-assistive-technology-guidance-manual-2020-edition-setting-the-vision-for-assistive-technology-in-schools/535515.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Angel","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-09","2026-10-10",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":34},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What is the legal definition and goal of assistive technology (AT) in schools?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The manual explains AT’s legal definition and its goals, emphasizing AT as compensatory support to help students access and benefit from educational programs.
