The Public School's Special Education System as an Assistive Technology Funding Source - a comprehensive treatise on the rights of students with disabilities under the IDEA and section 504 - Although this booklet is published to reach a primary audience of attorneys and advoca\\\\tes who assist persons with disabilities who need AT to succeed in their public school experience, the publication should also be viewed as a comprehensive treatise on the rights of students with disabilities under the IDEA and section 504. Since so much of AT-related advocacy will deal with core special education law concepts, we go through all the core issues in great detail, referencing the federal law and regulations, case law, and federal policy letters as relevant. In each section, we analyze how the concepts discussed have implications for AT advocacy. In the AT-specific sections of this booklet (see section III.), our analysis is very comprehensive, referencing nearly every policy letter to come out of the U.S. Department of Education that specifically relates to AT. This 468 footnoted booklet replaces the booklet published in 1999.
