Advocating For My Accessible Educational Materials (AEM) is a workbook designed for students to use as they begin to learn to advocate for the accommodations and accessibility features they need in their educational programs. It applies common self-advocacy principles to the needs of students who use AEM in their daily educational programs. Students and their support teams will find this guide useful when an assessment has been completed to establish the need for accessible educational materials, technology, and assistive technology. In creating this workbook, the authors have assumed that the student is already using their AEM in functional ways in their educational environments. Because students can start building self-advocacy skills as soon as they begin to use AEM, individual sections of the workbook may be useful as soon as students begin to learn to use AEM.

Apps for students with learning disabilities/dyslexia Overview Student using iPad to readMost of the Assistive Technology (AT) software applications designed for students with learning disabilities/dyslexia are focused on accommodating the reading process. However, there are also a large number of software applications that can assist students with learning disabilities in other ways including, planning, time management, organization, speech-to-text (for students who also have written expression issues), audio recordings, note-taking and many others.
The following are lists and resources for locating lists of apps, software applications and other technologies designed to assist students with learning disabilities/dyslexia.

Assistive technology (AT) can be a powerful tool to support students with disabilities. The consideration of assistive technology for all students with an IEP is a requirement. How can this be done with fidelity and who participates in the decision-making process? These modules will provide educators and parents with resources on how to consider assistive technology.

In this module, we will explore how Individual Education Plan (IEP) teams can assess if assistive technology is required to reduce or remove learning barriers for students with a disability. In the past, IEP teams have looked to specialists as experts to conduct an assistive technology assessment for their students. However, the IEP team is the best expert on their student. It is best practice for the IEP to conduct an AT assessment on their students, with each team member contributing in the area of the assessment that aligns with their expertise. In this module, we will share the steps necessary for an assistive technology assessment, as well as resources and tools that will help the IEP team make data-informed decisions. Assessment ideas for common types of assistive technology tools will be discussed, such as tools for reading, writing, and math. In addition, resources will be shared for AT assessments that involve AT for vision, hearing, motor, and communication. We will also share WA State support agencies who exist to guide IEP teams during the AT assessment process.

The Assistive Technology in the Schools Course aims to to familiarize educators and parents with assistive technology devices and services, and provide a foundational understanding of what it means to consider, assess, and implement assistive technology (AT) with students to remove learning barriers. This course includes four modules: Introduction to Assistive Technology, AT Consideration, AT Assessment, and AT Implementation. This first module, Introduction to Assistive Technology, highlights the difference between accessible technology and assistive technology. This module explores examples of how assistive technology devices and services can help reduce learning barriers for students with disabilities across learning environments. Module Objective:Participants will be able to understand and describe inclusive technology and the difference between accessible educational material(AEM), accessible technology, and assistive technology(AT). Participants will be able to identify 3 examples of assistive technology devices/tools that have the potential to remove learning barriers for students.Participants will be able to identify 2 examples of assistive technology services within the education system.

The purpose of the Quality Indicators and Critical Components is to assist state and local education agencies, institutions of higher education and workforce development agencies with planning, implementing, and evaluating dynamic, coordinated systems for the timely provision of accessible educational materials and accessible technologies. Given the variability of policies and practices across these organizations, the Quality Indicators and Critical Components are designed to provide agencies with consistent goals and to promote discussion around multiple methods to achieve those goals.
