Cost

Cost Assistive technology devices and services are valuable educational tools for students with disabilities. However, the costs are significant. In purchasing assistive technologies the initial investment is should not be the only consideration. It is critical that the cost of repairs, replacement and any necessary modifications also be considered. IDEA places the responsibility for funding of assistive technology devices and services required for a free appropriate public education on the school district. Our lecture series will address financial considerations such as the cost of maintenance in addition to ways in which schools may find resources to assist in locating funding to acquire these necessary devices and services
