This RFP is for website development. Content for the website is being developed under a different RFP, Located Here.
Overview and Purpose
Local Education Agencies (LEAs) need helpful resources that will have an immediate impact to address delayed, interrupted, suspended, or inaccessible learning opportunities and provide Individualized Education Program (IEP) supports through educational recovery for students with and without disabilities due to the COVID-19 disruptions.
Many educational recovery initiatives have already been funded with one-time federal and state resources and have helped develop supports for all students, which includes access to educational technology through high-tech devices (laptop, computer, personal device, tablet, etc.). Ensuring that high-tech devices are user friendly, school ready, and aligned with a student’s needs is as critical as access to the device(s) themselves. One approach that aligns and gives students an immediate impact and potential educational gain/recovery is through the calculated use of educational applications (Apps) associated with Assistive Technology (AT) and Accessible Educational Material (AEM).
This RFP is to facilitate the development of a website that will be populated with information for users of high-tech assistive technology devices so that questions and challenges can be addressed in a prompt and succinct manner. The user’s need(s) are addressed through the provision of resources (self-driven), points of contact to gain access to professional consultative supports (professional driven), and immediate answers through “pop up” consults (expert driven).
