The Adaptive Technology Center (ATC), through the use of low-incidence funds and in collaboration with Early Start agencies, can provide educationally related assistive technology (AT) equipment to children from birth to age 3 who have been identified as having a low-incidence disability (Severe Orthopedic Impairment, Visually Impaired, Deaf/Hard of Hearing). Additionally, the ATC has partnered with the North Bay Regional Center (NBRC) to provide AT assessments and services in the area of Augmentative Alternative Communication (AAC) to families of children with complex communication needs. This service is based on availability.
Assistive technology equipment requests for infants, ages 0-3, are initiated by the early start program or agency in Sonoma County serving students with low incidence disabilities. Requests are submitted to SELPA’s Low Incidence Equipment Review Committee by a designated representative from either the ATC or the SELPA’s Early Start Program.
