SETT+Framework+Process

[|SETT Framework] as a guide for conducting an AT service.

Student Environment Task Tool

Let's [|review](Secondary example) what is found in each section. Elementary example [|here]

According to [|Joy Zabala], the creator of SETT, the framework “considers first, the STUDENT, the ENVIRONMENT(S) and the TASKS required for active participation in the activities of the environment, and finally, the system of TOOLS needed for the student to address the tasks.”





8-Step Decision-Making Process 1.  Identify areas of concern 2.  Gather information on aspects related to concerns 3.  Analyze information 4.  Generate prioritize and potential solutions 5.  Develop a plan 6.  Work the plan and collect data on effectiveness 7.  Revise the plan as indicated by data 8.  Document

The SETT Framework is a guideline for gathering data in order to make effective assistive technology decisions. The SETT Framework considers first, the STUDENT, the ENVIRONMENT(S) and the TASKS required for active participation in the activities of the environment, and finally, the system of TOOLS needed for the student to address the tasks.

Students with diverse abilities, needs, and experiences in various educational environments use a plethora of tools: 1) to accomplish tasks that lead to educational achievement and, 2) as a means to demonstrate achievement!

__SETT Overview__ Dr. Joy Zabala, a special educator, designed the collaborative planning and decision making tool called the SETT Framework. SETT looks at students with complex communication needs. Although devices are selected by professionals and educators to warrant communication, unfortunately, the kinds of changes expected are not attained in participation & productivity.

The SETT framework is based on the premise that in order to develop an appropriate system of Tools (support-devices, services, strategies, accommodations, etc) Teams must first develop a shared understanding of the student, the customary environments in which the student spends time, and the tasks that are required for the student to be able to do, or learn to do, in order to be an active participant in the teaching/learning process that will lead to educational success. When the needs, abilities, and interest of the Student; the details of the Environment; and the specific Tasks required of students to perform in these environments are fully explored, teams are able to consider what needs to be included in a system of tools that is Student -centered, Environmentally-useful, and Task –focused

 Students will must answer the following:

The SETT Scaffolds are a series of forms that, like architectural scaffolds, are designed to be used when and where needed. They are meant to be examples and can be adapted and changed to meet the needs of the people who are using them as long as credits to the original source are maintained.
