Assistive technology can help students with disabilities in many ways. It is not always
easy, however, to find the "right" assistive technology that best meets a
student's needs. The process of selecting the appropriate tools for an individual student
is important. It takes input from many people with many perspectives to make these
decisions.
The SETT Framework developed by Joy Zabala, is a powerful tool that can be used to help
people work together to
gather relevant information about the student, educational environments and the tasks
focus their conversation
make the decisions about technology and its uses
revisit decisions based on ongoing assessment
