Core Competency: Identifies desired outcomes and objectives
The SETT (Student ,Environment, Tasks, Tools) is a nationally accepted framework for gathering information from the school team at the beginning of an assistive technology assessment. This year, I instituted the use of the initial page of this tool by electronically sending a blank copy along with a direction sheet to each team that make an initial assistive technology support request. The team leader was asked to complete the first three sections (Student, Environment, Tasks) and return it electronically prior to my first visit. This has been highly successful. It gives me excellent information and helps me know what direction the consultation might take and what hardware &/or software I need to take with me for the initial consultation with the student.

Core Competency: Utilizes a structured system and format for planning and instruction
This year, I created a one-page document that clearly outlines the IU 13 Assistive Technology process. It is nearly finalized and the final version will be distributed to:
 * District Special Education Directors and their Special Education Consultants
 * IU 13 Special Education Program Supervisors and their Special Education Consultants
 * School-based teams that request an initial assistive technology consultation
