Overview
For more than a quarter of a century, the SETT Framework has been a go-to concerns identification and solution-seeking model that has been used in many places across the USA and in other parts of the world. While there have been many opportunities to learn about SETT Framework and its use, this one is new! It is devoted to an essential part of the SETT Framework that is often misunderstood in the field – the collaborative conversation that serves as the primary way for collaborative decision-makers (individuals with disabilities, families, educators and service providers) build shared knowledge about what they know and what they still need to know to make effective decisions about assistive technology tools, needed supports and services and for many other purposes. Come explore “The Conversation” – when it takes place, who participates, what is shared and how the tone is moderated, what happens next and more.
