Assistive Technology Assessment
Submitted by Charlotte Cushman on Mar 06, 2016
The Assessing Students Needs for Assistive Technology (ASNAT) resource manual is a 525-page document that contains a wealth of information on a wide range of assistive technology topics. Many of the chapters use the SETT
(Student, Environment, Task, and Tool) format to guide the decision-making process. While all of the content is not specific to students with visual impairments, much of it is applicable or can be easily modified to guide teams in selecting the assistive technology that is most appropriate for an individual student.
