Get+The+Right+Stuff


 * Getting the "Right Stuff" is all about matching the needs of the student with what they are needing to do ( task) and where they will be using it (environment) and which technology will make the access happening( tool). The SETT process is the best, most simple approach to thinking this through.**

__**SETT Framework**__

SETT is an acronym for Student, Environments, Tasks, and Tools

Joy Zabala (@ [|www.joyzabala.com] ) is the goddess of good decision making for acquisiton of AT. Her process is known as the SETT process. ** She maintains this site primarily to serve as a location for providing information and supports related to the SETT Framework but also include links to other areas of interest, particularly QIAT, UDL, and AIM. **

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. The letters are not intended to imply a process order. But rahter that the //student//, //environments//, and //tasks// should be fully explored before AT is selected. Joy invites you to explore the ideas and documents shared on this site to find out more about the SETT Framework.

 * [|Ready, SETT, Go!] (Closing the Gap)
 * [|SETT and ReSETT] (Closing the Gap
 * [|SETT Up Staff and Supporters (Closing the Gap)]

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.
