This book was released on 2017-09-01 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Census Bureau has reported that 56.7 million Americans had some type of disability in 2010, which represents 18.7 percent of the civilian noninstitutionalized population included in the 2010 Survey of Income and Program Participation. The U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) provides disability benefits through the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program and the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. As of December 2015, approximately 11 million individuals were SSDI beneficiaries, and about 8 million were SSI beneficiaries. SSA currently considers assistive devices in the nonmedical and medical areas of its program guidelines. During determinations of substantial gainful activity and income eligibility for SSI benefits, the reasonable cost of items, devices, or services applicants need to enable them to work with their impairment is subtracted from eligible earnings, even if those items or services are used for activities of daily living in addition to work. In addition, SSA considers assistive devices in its medical disability determination process and assessment of work capacity. The Promise of Assistive Technology to Enhance Activity and Work Participation provides an analysis of selected assistive products and technologies, including wheeled and seated mobility devices, upper-extremity prostheses, and products and technologies selected by the committee that pertain to hearing and to communication and speech in adults.

Download or read book Assistive Technology For Students With Disabilities Information for Parents Educators written by John Copenhaver and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this brochure is to inform parents and educators regarding the use of assistive technology devices and services in the special education evaluation process and programming. As defined in the federal special education regulations, an assistive technology service means any service that directly assists a child with a disability in the selection, acquisition, or use of an assistive technology device. The school district is legally responsible to consider assistive technology for the student during the evaluation process and as a possible service on the Individualized Education Plan (IEP). The parent is part of the multidisciplinary team that will discuss whether an assistive technology evaluation is needed. If it is determined during the evaluation planning meeting or the IEP meeting that an assistive technology evaluation is needed, the multidisciplinary team must decide who will provide the evaluation. The data gathered from the comprehensive evaluation conducted by the multidisciplinary team must be used in the development of the IEP. If the student is eligible for special education and requires assistive technology to receive a free appropriate public education, the school must provide or arrange for the provision of the appropriate assistive technology and services at no cost to the parent(s). This document answers some frequently asked questions regarding assistive technology.
