Keeping equipment in use

Why the interval matters

Straps loosen, batteries fade and children grow. A set check interval, agreed with the therapist, keeps small faults from turning into a missed school day.

Students without equipment

Equipment named in a student’s IEP as assistive technology is a service the school must provide (IDEA, 34 CFR 300.105). When it breaks, plan the backup the same day.

What this is not

A maintenance manual. Adjustments to seating and positioning follow the therapist and the maker.
