Integrated Technology Services (ITS) and You!

Do you have a student with disabilities who is receiving Assistive Technology (AT) support from ITS? If so, ITS staff is currently working hard to get equipment and software placed for these students and to provide any training that as a result, you might need. Do you know who your ITS staff support person will be this year? In addition to getting our existing students setup, ITS staff members are coming to each school during the first few weeks to introduce themselves and to make on-site staff aware of how to access our services. Do you have a student who is not receiving individual AT services whom you would like to refer for an ITS consultation? Individual, Class and Project referrals can be easily downloaded from the ITS Intranet which can be accessed from computers in Fairfax County schools.
