Why each requirement is here

What IDEA covers

Schools provide the assistive technology devices and services in a student’s IEP (34 CFR 300.105). Services include selecting, setting up and maintaining the device and training the student, family and staff (300.6). Home use is decided case by case by the IEP team.

Privacy

Many tools store student work or voice data. Under FERPA the school must keep control of student records it shares with a vendor; products aimed at children under 13 also fall under COPPA. Your district’s review process applies.

What this is not

An assistive technology assessment. The team chooses the tool first; this gets it working.
