IDEA, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, was first passed as PL 94-142 in 1975. However, assistive technology was not specifically mentioned in this initial legislation. It was not until the reauthorization of IDEA with PL 101-476 in 1990 that assistive technology was first included as a related service and a consideration in the individualized education program (IEP) planning process for students with disabilities.
