In 2004, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act outlined specific considerations for students with individual education programs in relation to their needs and application of assistive technology (AT) devices and services used to access school curriculum. Teachers will interact with a variety of assistive technologies during their career and must have an understanding of how their individual students are accessing lessons and school-based activities. This practitioner article presents a vignette about a hypothetical second-grade teacher and two of his students using AT during a science lesson. Steps the teacher should consider in understanding and embedding AT are presented, as well as discussion about how future technologies may play into students' access to curriculum.
