Assistive Technology

The BPS Assistive Technology team is committed to collaborate with district, school, and family partners to build the capacity of school-based teams to successfully implement assistive technology through a multi-tiered system of supports. These supports include delivering professional development, coaching, coordinating device trials, and participating as equal partners on school-based 504/IEP teams.

Assistive technology (AT) allows students with disabilities to access their curriculum in the classroom. The goal of AT is to help a student perform classroom tasks more efficiently and independently in the least restrictive environment. Considering and selecting assistive technology is a team-based, problem-solving process that occurs at the school level.

Child Find

Brevard Public Schools is responsible for Child Find identification and evaluation for all students residing in Brevard County suspected of having a disability. Early identification and intervention is essential to help ensure school success.

If your child is having significant difficulty with vision, hearing, speech, or behavior, is experiencing slow development typical for his or her age, physical impairments, or learning difficulty, he or she may be a child with a disability. Through partnerships with community agencies, discretionary projects and strong system wide supports, Brevard Public Schools provides ongoing resources and interventions to children suspected of having a disability.
