Assistive Technology Assessment Techniques

Assistive Technology Assessment Techniques

11.   SETT Framework
  • The purpose of the SETT Framework is to aid in the creation of an individualized education plan for the student.  The framework allows the team to focus on four specific areas, the student, the students environment, the tasks required for participation and the assistive technology that will enhance the students learning environment.  The questions that are a part of the SETT framework are designed  to encourage the members of the planning team to create the best possible plan for the student.

2. Matching Person and Technology
·        The purpose of the Matching Person and Technology (MPT) model is to take into account the various factors that influence the accessibility of technology for a student.  In determining the appropriate assistive technology for a student a large number of factors do come into play, including expectations, economics and preferences for different forms of technology.

3. Lifespace Access Profile
  • “The purpose is to provide a “client-centered, team-based collection of observations that point to next steps in a comprehensive program utilizing technology” Target audience for the LAP is those with severe/profound disabilities. The LAP consists of an assessment protocol that evaluates the individual’s current abilities across five domains: Physical Resources, Cognitive Resources, Emotional Resources, Support Resources, and Environmental Analysis.”( www.homemods.org/resources/pages/ATAssess.shtml‎)

4. Human Activity Assistive Technology
·        The Human Activity Assistive Technology approach places its “emphasis on the interrelationships among numerous dynamic elements, including; 1. home and school environments, 2.the student’s personal perceptions, and 3.resources available to the student. All of the elements guide the functional response of the school team.”( www.slideshare.net/mjmax/assessment-models-assistive-technology)

5. Education Tech Point Framework
·        The Education Tech Point Framework is “based on a process associated with the delivery of vocational rehabilitation services. The developers of the model propose that the model integrates AT into the special education service delivery process.”(http://www.abledata.com/abledata.cfm?pageid=160377&ksectionid=160164&atlitid=178338)
