What is Assistive Technology (AT)?

“Assistive technology refers to a wide range of tools, products, software, and apps that help children with disabilities do something they otherwise couldn’t do. In more formal terms, assistive technology is defined by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) as, “any item, piece of equipment, or product system, whether acquired commercially off the shelf, modified, or customized, that is used to increase, maintain, or improve functional capabilities of a child with a disability.” Assistive technology can help with nearly any skill, and can be easy to use. AT ranges in complexity from simple, low-tech solutions — a crayon with a large foam grip that helps a child to color independently — to high-tech communication devices that can verbalize the thoughts of someone who needs help to speak”. — Pacer Center
