Full Text of Announcement 

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

Purpose of Program: The purpose of 

the program is to: (1) Improve results for 

children with disabilities by promoting 

the development, demonstration, and 

use of technology, (2) support 

educational media services activities 

designed to be of educational value in 

the classroom setting to children with 

disabilities, and (3) provide support for 

captioning and video description that is 

appropriate for use in the classroom 

setting. 

Priority: In accordance with 34 CFR 

75.105(b)(2)(iv) and (v), this priority is 

from allowable activities specified in 

the statute, or otherwise authorized in 

the statute (see sections 674 and 681(d) 

of the Individuals with Disabilities 

Education Act (IDEA)). 

Absolute Priority: For FY 2006 this 

priority is an absolute priority. Under 34 

CFR 75.105(c)(3), we consider only 

applications that meet this priority. 

This priority is: 

Technology and Media Services for 

Individuals With Disabilities—

Steppingstones of Technology 

Innovation for Children With 

Disabilities 

Applicants must—

(a) Describe a technology-based 

approach for improving the results of 

early intervention, response-tointervention assessment techniques, or 

preschool, elementary, middle school, 

or high school education for children 

with disabilities. The technology-based 

approach must be an innovative 

combination of new technology and 

additional materials and methodologies 

that enable the technology to improve 

educational, assessment, or early 

intervention results for children with 

disabilities; 

(b) Present a justification, based on 

scientifically rigorous research or 

theory, that supports the potential 

effectiveness of the technology-based 

approach for improving the results of 

education, assessment, or early 

intervention for children with 

disabilities. Results studied under this 

priority must focus on child outcomes, 

rather than on parent or professional 

outcomes. Child outcomes can include 

improved academic or pre-academic 

skills, improved behavioral or social 

functioning, improved functional 

performance, etc., provided that valid 

and reliable measurement instruments 

are employed to assess the outcomes. 

Technology-based approaches intended 

for use by professionals or parents are 

not appropriate for funding under this 

priority unless child-level benefits are 

clearly demonstrated. Technology-based 

approaches for professional 

development will not be funded under 

this priority; 

(c) Provide a detailed plan for 

conducting work in one of the following 

two phases: 

(1) Phase 1—Development: Projects 

funded under Phase 1 must develop and 

refine a technology-based approach, and 

test its feasibility for use with children 

with disabilities. Activities under Phase 

I of the priority may include 

development, adaptation, and 

refinement of technology, materials, or 

methodologies. Activities under Phase 1 

of the priority must include formative 

evaluation of usability and feasibility. 

The primary product of a project funded 

under Phase 1 should be a promising 

technology-based approach that is 

suitable for field-based evaluation of 

effectiveness in improving results for 

children with disabilities. 

(2) Phase 2—Research on 

Effectiveness: Projects funded under 

Phase 2 must select a promising 

technology-based approach that has 

been developed and tested in a manner 

consistent with the criteria for activities 

funded under Phase 1, and subject the 

approach to rigorous field-based 

research to determine effectiveness in 

educational or early intervention 

settings. Approaches studied through 

projects funded under Phase 2 may have 

been developed with previous funding 

under Phase 1 of this priority or with 

funding from other sources. Phase 2 of 

this priority is primarily intended to 

produce sound research-based evidence 

that demonstrates the approach can 

improve educational or early 

intervention results for children with 

disabilities in a defined range of real 

world contexts. 

Projects funded under Phase 2 of this 

priority must conduct research that 

poses a causal question and must 

employ randomized assignment to 

treatment and comparison conditions, 

unless a strong justification is made for 

why a randomized trial is not possible. 

If a randomized trial is not possible, the 

applicant must employ alternatives that 

substantially minimize selection bias or
