From the UDL Wiki:
"When Congress reauthorized IDEA in 1997, they added the provision that ALL students on IEPs must now be considered for assistive technology. (As Dave Edyburn pointed out, 4 million more students were now eligible to be considered for AT. According to the U.S. Department of Education, 96% of students with disabilities attend schools within their districts which is the high-incidence population.)"
This mandate is often unfunded-- this site provides ideas for resources that are free or inexpensive and available to all educators.
