Line up the demos, then decide on the evidence.

List each device with where it comes from and when the student will try it. The schedule shows what is booked, what has no date and whether a trial can finish before the team decides.

try it before anyone buys it
Drawn for this page. A demo shows what a tool can do; a trial in class shows whether this student will use it.

How to use it

  1. Start a plan with the student’s code.
  2. Write the task the tool has to help with, in classroom terms.
  3. Add each device with its source, a date and a status.
  4. Choose the criteria before the first demo, so the team judges every tool the same way.
  5. Bring the trial data to the decision meeting.

How to run the demos

Where devices come from

Every state and territory has an assistive technology program under the Assistive Technology Act that offers device demonstrations and short-term loans, usually at no cost. Vendors and lending libraries can fill gaps; your own inventory is fastest.

The IEP duty

IDEA requires the IEP team to consider whether a child needs assistive technology devices and services (34 CFR 300.324(a)(2)(v)), and the school must provide them when they are in the IEP (34 CFR 300.105).

Judge the task, not the tool

A device is right when this student can do this task with it in the settings that matter. Agree the criteria first, and count something during the trial.
