- ensuring that funding would continuously be made available for AT programs;
- including students with disabilities in the required state transition assistance programs;
- establishing universal design principles that are usable by people with the widest range of functional capabilities;
- increasing teacher training on AT devices and services for children with disabilities;
- continuing state protection and advocacy programs; and
- including a minimum state grant of $410,000.
