Learning Targets
• I can verbalize the purpose of AT
and how AT use is determined
• I know a range of AT tools from
low tech to high tech

Assistive Technology Device
“any item, piece of equipment, or product system, whether acquired
commercially off the shelf, modified, or customized, that is used to
increase, maintain, or improve functional capabilities of individuals
with disabilities.”
Assistive Technology Service
“any service that directly assists an individual with a disability in the
selection, acquisition, or use of an assistive technology device.”

“He Needs a Laptop”
There are a few
steps to consider
first!

Fundamental Assessment Process
Step 1: Intake / Referral
Step 2: Identification of Needs
Step 3: Identification of Desired Outcomes
Step 4: Develop and Nurture Team Members
Step 5: Skills Assessment SETT framework
Step 6: Device Trials
Step 7: Revisit Desired Outcomes
Step 8: Procurement of Device
Step 9: Technology Implementation
Step 10: Follow Up / Follow Along

SETT FrameworkJoy Zabala, 1998 revision
• Student• What does the student need to do?
• What are the student’s special needs and current abilities?
• Environment• What are the instructional and physical arrangements?
• What materials and equipment are currently available?
• What are the current expectations and attitudes?
• Tasks• What is everyone else doing?
• What are the critical elements of the activity?
• Tools• Which no tech, lo tech, and high tech options should be
considered?
• Which strategies might be tried to increase student performance?
• How might the student try out the proposed tools in the environment needed?
