An IEP team is a team of people who work together to develop an Individualized Education Program (IEP) for a student with a disability.

There are a number of ethical considerations related to the use of assistive technology in special needs education, including privacy, equity, and autonomy.

There are a number of future trends in assistive technology for special needs education, including the development of more affordable assistive technology devices, the development of more user-friendly assistive technology devices, and the development of assistive technology devices that are more integrated with the general education curriculum.

The role of the teacher in supporting students with disabilities who are using assistive technology is to provide training on how to use the assistive technology device, to provide ongoing support and troubleshooting, and to ensure that the assistive technology device is being used appropriately.
