MODEL
The SETT Framework gathers information concerning
the following
·
Student’s needs and abilities
·
Student’s environment
·
Tasks needed for the student to participate in the environment,
·

This model takes into
consideration the following when determining appropriate Assistive Technology
a.
Individuals expectations,
b.
Preferences,
c.
Background,
d.
Family and environmental
influences and
e.
Economic factors.
Questionnaires are used to find out
information about the milieu, the person and the appropriate technology.
3.
