The Technology and Media Services for Individuals With Disabilities: Steppingstones of Technology Innovation for Children With Disabilities (CFDA 84.327A) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education focused on improving educational outcomes for children with disabilities through better technology and classroom media supports. The program is designed to push forward the development, demonstration, and real-world use of technology that can help children with disabilities learn more effectively. Alongside technology innovation, the program also supports educational media services that are meant to be directly valuable in classroom settings, and it emphasizes accessibility features like captioning and video description so that instructional content can be used appropriately by students with disabilities.
This opportunity was posted on February 2, 2010, with applications made available the same day, and it set a deadline for transmittal of applications of March 19, 2010 (Phase 1: Development). The Department expected to make about six awards under this notice. The estimated total funding available was $1,200,000, with an award ceiling of $200,000 per grant, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.

Eligible applicants included State educational agencies (SEAs), local educational agencies (LEAs), and public charter schools that qualify as LEAs under state law.
