The SETT framework is a similar approach to the MPTT model. It breakdown the assessment considering aspects of the student, the environment, the tools and the task involved. There are many similarities between the various models or frameworks for assessing and matching the student to an appropriate assistive technology. with so much to consider it is important to have done the research and fully understand the strengths and needs of the student, to have analyzed the task the student needs to do, to understand the environment(s)of the student and the strengths and limitations of the tools or technology being considered. The Wisconsin Assistive Technology Institute has an extremely thorough checklist that it employs to assess the AT and student match. Finding the "right fit" is critical to the student's success and progress. Ongoing assessment and training is a critical role for the support team.
