  4. Action items • AT is considered as part of the development of the IEP • Ensure that if AT is needed, it is part of the classroom and IEP • Increase awareness of AT definition to district staff • Determine if coding sheets for PEIMS clerks is accurate • Determine if software for collection is accurate
