Hi folks. Welcome to “Accessibility Minute”, your weekly look at Assisitive Technology—those clever tools and devices designed to help people who have difficulties with vision, mobility, hearing or other special needs.

A group of education professionals work with the student and family member to create an Individualized Educational Plan or IEP, which outlines the services and supports that are needed to help a child succeed in the classroom.

Check our show notes for a link to learn more about AT in the IEP process.
