The document discusses two frameworks - SETT (Student, Environments, Tasks, and Tools) and AF (Adaptations Framework) - that are used to determine students' needs for assistive technology (AT). SETT provides a structure for collaborative groups to consider what AT devices and services a student requires for educational access. The AF helps professionals decide what type of adaptations would most benefit a student by asking a series of questions. It also provides a chart to develop a case study by adding additional components for an individual student.

AAT Framework Jacqui Cyrus, M.A., M.Ed., Ed.D. School of Education University of Guam
AT Frameworks - Overview SETT (Student, Environments, Tasks, and Tools) Provides a structure for collaborative groups to work together and think well about the AT devices and services that are needed to provide a student with disabilities access to education opportunities AF (Adaptations Framework) Used to help professionals decide the type of adaptations that would be the most beneficial
SETT Framework (1) the individual requires an adaptation, such as AT, to meet his/her needs; (2) the individual requires a different type of adaptation, including AT that what is presently being used;
SETT Framework - contd (3) the individual does not need an adaptation to meet his or her needs at this time; or (4) further information is required and additional evaluation is necessary, which may include an AT evaluation.
Adaptations Framework Used for considering whether or not an individual can benefit from adaptations by asking a series of questions to facilitate decision making as the AF is implemented. Refer to AF handout.
Adaptations Framework Setting-Specific Demands: Tasks, Requisite Abilities, Functional Capabilities, Functional Limitations Adaptations Types, Person and Technology Match, Training
Adaptations Framework contd Evaluation of Effectiveness Environmental Factors, Use of Device/Adaptation, Progress Independence Accessibility
Individual Tasks Develop your own Adaptations Framework chart for Sara, with which you will add additional components. This will be your case study.
Evaluation of Effectiveness of Adaptations Environmental Factors Use of Adaptations Monitoring User Progress
