Hey! Can I Try That? - is a student-based manual to promote student engagement in the consideration of Assistive Technology.
This handbook was made possible in part by funding from IDEA grant number 9906-23. Its content may be reprinted in whole or in part, with credit to WATI and the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) acknowledged.

The SETT Framework is a four part model intended to promote collaborative decision-making in all phases of assistive technology service design and delivery from consideration through implementation and evaluation of effectiveness.
SETT is an acronym for Student, Environments, Tasks, and Tools. Although the letters form a memorable word, they are not intended to imply an order, other than that the student, environments, and tasks should be fully explored before tools are considered or selected. Some people have tried to explore the first three separately and in order, however, that is nearly impossible because the first three are closely linked. -Joy Zabala Link to Joy Zabala's Website Other links from Joy Zabala: Link to the QIAT List Serve Link to Cast.org Website |
