TECHNOLOGY ASSISTIVE DEVICES FOR DISABLED STUDENTS
The Ascension Parish School Board recognizes that, consistent with federal and state statutes, assistive technology devices that are determined necessary by the child's individualized education plan (IEP) team to ensure a free, appropriate public education (FAPE) shall be provided by the Board to a child with a disability or parent or guardian of a child with a disability at no cost to the parents. However, the School Board shall not be required to replace or repair any assistive technology device provided if such device is lost, stolen, damaged, broken, destroyed, or otherwise misused while in the possession of the child, parent, or guardian. This provision does not apply to repair or replacement of such a device which needs repair or replacement as a result of ordinary wear.
