How To Apply:

Local school units are responsible for determining which students are eligible, through child find activities. Parents may request that their child be evaluated by the school in order to determine eligibility.

Helpful Hints:

AT devices are purchased only if they are a part of the student's Individual Educational Plan (IEP). This program modifies or adapts any device or equipment used by one of its students in the educational facility, and determined to be necessary for the provision of a Free Appropriate Public Education. Repair, maintenance and replacement is done for equipment or devices purchased and owned by the school, or which is documented in the IEP, regardless of ownership. It is also important to note that for the post-secondary level of education, there is no requirement for an Individual Educational Plan.
