Completing an Assistive Technology evaluation

When an Individualized Education Program (IEP) team determines that a student requires an Assistive Technology evaluation, the IEP team must add the Assistive Technology evaluation to the Assessment Planning document.

If there is not an evaluator at the school who is available to conduct the evaluation, the IEP team must refer the student for evaluation as follows:

Students attending a District 75 program must be referred to the Office of Technology Solutions (OTS).
All other students must be referred to the Center of Assistive Technology (CAT).
