Many students may find success in the classroom using tools and strategies that provide Universal Design for Learning (UDL). However, when UDL does not match individual student’s needs and abilities, Assistive Technology should be considered. Parents, teachers, and directors of special education may request an AT Consultation. For any student not currently on a TC caseload, there are three forms which must be completed and signed. This process is designed to document the Student's individual needs and abilities, the student's learning Environments, and the student's educational Tasks which are challenging to complete. Once that information has been gathered, the team can begin to address the Tools that might be appropriate for trial use. This process is of the SETT Framework, developed by Joy Zabala.
 * Assistive Technology (AT) includes any product or piece of equipment that is used to promote greater independence for people with disabilities by enabling them to perform tasks that they were formerly unable to accomplish, or had great difficulty accomplishing.**
