Assistive Technology

A Classroom for Everyone

Assistive Technology (AT), as defined by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), includes:

“Any item, piece of equipment, or product system, whether acquired commercially off the shelf, modified, or customized, that is used to increase, maintain, or improve the functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities.”

At the Minnesota State Academy for the Blind (MSAB), Assistive Technology is an integral part of every student’s educational experience.
