D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 5, r. 5-A3013
The IEP Team shall consider whether a child with a disability requires assistive technology devices or assistive technology services, or both, on an annual basis. The IEP Team shall document the need for any assistive technology devices or services in the child's IEP.
As part of its consideration of assistive technology services, the IEP Team shall consider training necessary for the child with a disability to utilize required assistive technology devices or the child's parent and teachers to support the child's use of required assistive technology devices.
The LEA shall ensure that assistive technology devices and services are made available to a child with a disability in accordance with the child's IEP.
The LEA shall not require the child with a disability or parent to purchase or otherwise provide assistive technology devices or assistive technology services as a condition of accessing FAPE, if such devices are deemed necessary by the IEP Team.
The LEA shall allow the child with a disability to utilize LEA-purchased assistive technology devices in the child's home or other settings if the IEP Team determines that the child requires access to those devices in the home or other settings in order to receive FAPE.
