This document discusses Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) programs in schools and their potential impact on Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). BYOD originated in businesses and allows students to use their own devices like tablets, laptops, and smartphones in school. While BYOD can engage students and save schools money, it also requires additional training and support. The document considers how BYOD relates to augmentative assistive technologies used in special education and how schools can address parental concerns over financial responsibility and monitoring use. Rules and guidelines are needed to ensure BYOD supports IEPs and provides devices for students who cannot afford their own.
