What are some issues or obstacles to assistive technology implementation?

What will be an ideal response?


A range of issues or challenges exist relative to assistive technology in schools. One issue is related to access. For students to have assistive technology provided by a school it must be written into their IEP, which requires IEP members to have knowledge and familiarity with assistive technology device and service options. Training is also important to implementation. If students, teachers, and parents do not receive training, they may be more likely to abandon an assistive technology device. Likewise, if the device carries stigmatization, students may be more likely to abandon it.
