The Texas Assistive Technology Services Policy Manual provides a comprehensive framework for the provision of assistive technology (AT) devices and services to individuals with disabilities in Texas. This manual aligns with federal regulations, including the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as well as state-specific requirements outlined in the Texas Administrative Code (§89.1056, §106.431) and Texas Education Code (§30.0015). It ensures compliance with legal mandates to support individuals in accessing education, employment, and community participation through assistive technology.
The manual details policies and procedures for evaluating, acquiring, implementing, and maintaining AT devices and services to enhance functional capabilities and independence. It also provides guidance on integrating AT into individualized education programs (IEPs) and other service plans to ensure equitable access to necessary tools.
Key areas covered in the manual include:
  • Eligibility and Assessment: Procedures for determining eligibility for AT services through evaluations conducted by multidisciplinary teams, ensuring that AT needs are identified based on individual functional requirements.
  • Provision of Devices and Services: Policies for acquiring AT devices, ranging from low-tech tools to high-tech equipment, with a focus on cost-effectiveness while meeting individual needs.
  • Integration into IEPs: Guidelines for ARD/IEP Committees to consider AT needs during IEP development, ensuring that devices and services are documented as part of a free appropriate public education (FAPE).
  • Transfer of Devices: Standards for transferring AT devices when students change schools or graduate, in accordance with TEC §30.0015.
  • Training and Support: Requirements for providing training to individuals, caregivers, educators, and staff on the effective use of AT devices.
  • Documentation and Compliance: Processes for maintaining accurate records related to AT evaluations, device usage, and service implementation in compliance with state and federal regulations.
  • Maintenance and Safety: Policies for ensuring proper maintenance of AT devices and addressing safety concerns during use.
The Texas Assistive Technology Services Policy Manual serves as an essential resource for agencies, schools, and service providers to deliver high-quality assistive technology services while adhering to state and federal regulatory frameworks. It supports individuals with disabilities in achieving greater independence and participation across various life domains.
