Iowa’s AEAs have been widely regarded as one of the finest systems of intermediate services in the country providing support to children, families, and educators. #EveryDayAtAEA

AEA staff may help suggest equipment to address a child’s or student’s access and/or participation concerns. Our Assistive Technology Loan Library provides short-term device loans to help determine device appropriateness before a school or family has to buy it

MBAEA Early ACCESS providers partner with families to identify routines, plan activities, and set goals to help support a child’s development.

Congrats to these Davenport CSD kiddos for having 95%+ attendance for the second quarter! Their reward… MBAEA consultant Rachel Anderson, who leads the Attendance Student Intervention Team, arranged for MBAEA STEM Lead, Aaron Maurer, to come in with his massive Lego collection.


We love to see the collaboration of MBAEA, districts, and families pay off!
