Student Services – AT Only Loan Requests
For those district or school teams who have the internal capacity to implement the technology loaned to a student.
Rationale/Intent of the AT Only Loans
This type of loan request is only intended for those district or school teams who have the internal capacity to implement the technology loaned to a student without the need of support from SET-BC educators or specialists.
Due to the minimal involvement SET-BC has in the AT Only process, proof of trial and video evidence is required with the application. This is to ensure that robust trialing has been completed to confirm equipment suitability. If providing a video is not possible, please connect with SET-BC Administration to discuss possible alternatives.
After the end of Equipment Only Support (EOS), students who have previously received SET-BC services are eligible for our AT Only Renewal option. Through this streamlined renewal process, equipment loans, software subscriptions, and technical equipment support will be extended for an additional three years. AT Only Renewal is intended for students who will continue using their existing equipment and programs. Requests for different equipment or software require a new AT Only application with supporting documentation.
Please only apply for this type of service request if:
- One or more district specialists are readily available and have a plan to support the implementation of the requested technology, provide training for the student and school team, and have actively collaborated in completing the AT Only application.
- The specific technology being requested has been thoroughly trialed to confirm its suitability prior to application submission. Proof of trial (such as trialing data or reports detailing the process and outcomes) and video evidence, MUST be included with the application.
- Custom AT mounting solutions are not needed or being considered. Custom mounts are not available through our AT Only loans (and only provided through our Full Service). Please do not submit an AT Only Request for technology requiring custom mounts.
- The student’s IEP demonstrates the need for AT and how it will be used to support student learning and goals.
- The student has been referred to the School-Based Team, who supports this application. SBT confirms an AT implementation plan and has identified the school and district supports necessary to ensure the sufficient AT support for the student.
- The student previously received SET-BC Full Service and is now in the final year of Equipment Only Support (EOS). Teams may apply for updated equipment and renewed program subscriptions through the AT Only service. Trialing data and video evidence are not required if the request is for the same equipment and programs identified in the original service.
