Assistive
Technology was first defined in the
Technology-Related Assistance of Individuals with Disabilities Act of
1988 . Since that
time the responsibility to provide assistive technology devices and
services (when needed) has been mandated by the IDEA revisions of 1990
and 1997, the current revision of the Rehabilitation Act of 1992 and the
Americans with Disabilities Act.
Livingston
Parish School System has worked diligently to provide these mandated
services. The parish has established an assistive technology team with a
strong desire by the team members and administration to firmly establish
a working system for providing assistive technology services to
Livingston Parish students. This team has made significant progress in
providing needed technology services.
