Equipment Checkout

Kenosha Unified School District has a variety of equipment available through the Assistive Technology Equipment Checkout. Devices can be checked out to try with a student to determine whether it improves the student’s educational performance. If the equipment is found to be effective, as evidenced by the data collected during the trial, equipment can then be checked out to the student for longer periods of time. The need for the equipment must be documented on the student’s Individualized Education Program. In addition to the equipment available for student use, resource materials, including books and videos, are available for use by teachers, therapists, and parents. When equipment is needed for a trial that is not available in the Assistive Technology Equipment Checkout, efforts are made to obtain the equipment through other sources, including the Wisconsin Assistive Technology Initiative Lending Library (www.wati.org).
