Mullica Hill Fourth Grader Delivers Schoolwide Message Using AAC

New Jersey guidance sets out a responsibility for schools when assistive technology is needed: if a student’s IEP team determines it is necessary, the district or charter school must provide the devices or services at no cost to parents, and must supply items specified in the IEP as soon as possible, according to the New Jersey Department of Education. That policy provides context for communication supports in schools, but the report about Anthony Knauer does not say whether his device is specified in an IEP or how it was funded.
