Although this document appears to be long and overwhelming at first, it is easily understood. It is broken up in a logical manner that can help families receive the technology that their students may need. One of the most beneficial sections of this piece is the "Questions to Ask" section. It provides numerous questions that parents may/should ask administrators and teachers about regarding assistive technology. Furthermore, this may be beneficial for teachers as well that may not know much about assistive technology.

This is an excellent PDF file and i love how it is broken down so thoroughly to understand. I also like how it gives examples of questions to ask for parents and teachers. Technology is a very important factor is students education and special education students should be given the same opportunities as other students.
