Join us for an illuminating workshop dedicated to understanding and addressing the assistive technology needs of students. In this session, participants will delve into a systematic approach for determining the appropriate assistive technology solutions through the lens of the SETT Framework and the WATI (Wisconsin Assistive Technology Initiative) model.
The SETT Framework, which stands for Student, Environment, Tasks, and Tools, provides a comprehensive framework for considering the unique needs of each student and designing tailored assistive technology interventions. We'll explore how to effectively assess students' abilities, their learning environments, the tasks they need to accomplish, and the tools that can support their success.
Additionally, we'll examine the WATI process, a structured approach developed by experts in the field of assistive technology. By understanding the WATI model, participants will gain practical insights into conducting thorough assessments, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, and implementing evidence-based assistive technology strategies.
Through interactive discussions, case studies, and hands-on activities, participants will learn how to apply these frameworks in real-world scenarios. Whether you're an educator, special education professional, therapist, or administrator, this workshop equips you with the knowledge and tools to effectively meet the assistive technology needs of diverse learners.
