Assistive Technology


Questions and answers concerning assistive technology are found in the Special Education Procedural Guide (2500.13) Appendix H. DoDDS Pacific DDESS Guam is continually working to provide for the assistive technology needs of students in the special education programs.  Schools have been provided with assistive technology materials and equipment and consultants are available in all districts to facilitate training and implementation of strategies and devices.

Guam, Japan, Korea, and Okinawa Districts maintain lending libraries with assistive technology resources.

Many high and low-tech devices are available to assist students with disabilities with daily living tasks, communication, education, work, and recreation. Examples are: Velcro, adapted clothing and toys, computers, seating systems, augmentative communication devices, special switches, assisted listening devices, visual aids, memory prosthetics, and thousands of other commercially available or adapted items. Assistive Technology Consultants in each district support students with disabilities and help with selecting, acquiring, and using assistive technology.
