**|| home || back || next**||**Tutorial: AT Consideration**
=Activity= || **Overview:** This tutorial follows the SETT process for making determinations about assistive technology. First, you will complete a large group activity to identify information about the student and develop a shared knowledge with all team members. You will NOT be making recommendations at this time. To develop the shared knowlege, begin with the LARGE GROUP ACTIVITY below. Once you have gone through that process, you will continue to the Small Group Activity below. During that activity you will complete the consideration process using the LA Consideration form.

 * __Task: Consideration of Assistive Technology__**
 * Objective:** The participants will develop a shared knowledge about the student's current performance, skills and needs to address access and progress in the curriculum. Directions: Select a student profile and video below to initiate a discussion about assistive technology. While watching the video, use the process below to identify the following about the Student, Environment and Task.
 * 1) What are specific areas of concern related to the student's ability?
 * 2) What are the student's special needs or disability?
 * 3) What is the student's current achievement?
 * 4) What still needs to be known and how can it be found out?
 * 5) Is there any additional information that is known?
 * 1) What are the environments in which the student is learning?
 * 2) What are the specific features about the environment(s) that may affect technology use.
 * 3) What still needs to be known and how can it be found out?
 * 1) What learning task does the student need to do that is either too difficult or impossible for him/her to do?
 * 2) What information can be used to help identify the type of tool or strategy needed?
 * 3) What still needs to be known and how can it be found out?
 * 4) Is there any additional information that is known?
