Mr. Wright tells her he is aware of the software and that the IEP team did consider it. Mr. Wright adds that while he would love to recommend this additional software, Johnny's current hearing needs do not warrant the additional expense.
Cost

The rest of the IEP team agrees that while the tablet computer could be used to meet Nicky's math needs, the talking calculator would also be appropriate as it is able to synthesize and read aloud numbers, symbol, and/or operations, all areas in which Nicky currently struggles. Because the IEP team is required to first consider the least expensive device that appropriately addresses a student's needs, the team recommends the talking calculator instead on the tablet.
