AT Reimbursement for Schools

We are now accepting AT Reimbursement applications for the 2024-25 school year.

The purpose of the ATR Program is to assist Missouri’s public, charter and State Schools for the Severely Disabled (MSSD) in covering the cost of purchasing assistive technology (AT) devices for students.

The program is open to any qualified K-12 student. Qualified students are only eligible for one application per school year.

To be eligible, the student must:

• Be enrolled in grades K-12
• Have an Individualized Education Program (IEP)
• Have “Assistive Technology Required” marked as “Yes” on the Special Considerations page of their IEP
• Have undergone an AT evaluation or have trialed the requested device or a similar device

The cost of the device(s) or system should be between $350 and $6,000. If the device(s) or system is greater than $6,000, you can still apply for reimbursement, but the school will be responsible for covering the remaining amount beyond $6,000. Examples of reimbursable assistive technologies include, but are not limited to, augmentative communication devices, text-to-speech software, tablets and laptops with assistive apps/programs and accessories such as a case or screen protector, electronic magnifiers, braille embossers, assistive listening systems, etc.

To submit an application(s), please follow the steps below:

• Submit applications electronically using the link above (if you are unable to submit applications electronically, please contact us at the email below).
• The student’s Present Level and Special Considerations sections from their IEP are required with the application submission.
• Please be prepared to upload student’s AT evaluation or describe their device trial experience to ensure the request is appropriate for the student.
• Have a price estimate for all items requested for reimbursement (i.e. device plus accessories). While prices don’t have to be exact, a quote for the device is preferable for accurate pricing.

Please direct all correspondence and/or questions about the program to mail  MoATATR@gmail.com

MoAT staff will review applications as quickly as possible and follow up with districts regarding the status of their submissions.
