disclaimer
The Arizona Department of Education/Exceptional Student Services (ADE/ESS) does not prescribe, endorse, or provide advertising space for textbooks, software, devices, or curriculum materials. The ADE/ESS does not evaluate textbooks, software, devices, or curriculum materials for compliance with meeting the state minimum curriculum standards and does not recommend any specific textbooks, software, devices, or curriculum materials. Each public education agency (PEA) is responsible to select curriculum materials that will meet the minimum state curriculum standards. PEAs may also establish their own policies for textbook, software, and curriculum materials’ selection and adoption. The ESS−Assistive Technology (AT) team does frequently review software, devices, and curriculum support items to determine if they may be used to assist students with disabilities in accessing and benefiting from the general education curriculum. These supports may be considered assistive technology, as defined in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The ESS−AT team may procure, demonstrate, and provide training on a wide range of assistive technology items and may compare and contrast the features of these items, but the team is precluded from making any recommendations for one product over another.
National Science Education Standards
Principle 1: Learning is enhanced when
teachers recognize and teach to diverse learning styles and strengths
Principle 2: Content learning is supported by explicit instruction in skills and strategies.
Principle 3: Learning is facilitated when instruction and assessment are clearly
- rganized.
Principle 4: Learning is maximized when instruction and assessment are based on explicit objectives.
Principle 5: Learning is improved when teachers provide consistent feedback.
Principle 6: Learning is sustained when students develop self-knowledge.

the student that this student expected to do? cannot currently participate in?
- What assistive
technology does the student have access to or currently use?
- What does
success look like?
- Are the tools
being considered
- n a continuum
from no/low to high-tech?
- Are the tools
student centered and task oriented and reflect the student1s current needs?
- What are the
training requirements for the student,. family and staff?
