The Basics
From IDEA;
Assistive Technology Device-
(A) The term assistive technology device means any item, piece of equipment, or product system, whether acquired commercially off the shelf, modified, or customized, that is used to increase, maintain, or improve functional capabilities of a child with a disability
(B) The term does not include a medical device that is surgically implanted, or the replacement of such a device.
A good way to look at assistive technology is to see it as a continuum, on the left there are examples of low, medium, and high tech devices.
