The Montana Assistive Technology (AT) Services Provider Policy Manual establishes a comprehensive framework for delivering state-compliant assistive technology services to individuals with disabilities in Montana. This manual aligns with the Assistive Technology Act of 1998, as amended, and Montana-specific regulations, including the Administrative Rules of Montana (ARM) and federal guidelines under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). It ensures compliance with legal standards while promoting the integration, independence, and inclusion of individuals with disabilities across educational, employment, community living, and recreational settings.
The manual includes policies on:
  • AT Equipment Loan Programs: Guidelines for short-term and long-term loans of assistive technology devices for evaluation purposes.
  • Demonstration Services: Procedures for providing hands-on demonstrations of AT tools to individuals or groups.
  • Equipment Exchange: Policies for facilitating the reutilization of AT devices through exchanges, giveaways, or sales.
  • Financial Loan Programs: Standards for offering low-interest loans to assist individuals in purchasing AT devices when other funding is unavailable.
  • Assessment and Implementation: Best practices for assessing individual needs and integrating AT tools into educational programs, workplaces, and daily living environments.
  • Training and Technical Assistance: Protocols for training families, educators, service providers, and peers on the use of AT tools to ensure effective utilization across multiple environments.
The manual also emphasizes Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles to enhance accessibility for all individuals and outlines procedures for maintaining confidentiality and privacy in accordance with FERPA regulations. It supports providers in delivering high-quality services while adhering to Montana’s regulatory framework for assistive technology programs.
This policy manual serves as a vital resource for ensuring that assistive technology services are delivered effectively, equitably, and in compliance with state and federal laws. It supports providers in fostering independence and improving functional capabilities for all Montanans with disabilities.
