Issues in Selection of Access Methods

The use of the SETT model is vital in assessing a child.  It is a simple, yet effective way of truly looking at the child as opposed to just the "problems". 

The part of this chapter that I think is based on "ideals" and not "reality" is that "the AT selection must be based on student needs, not availability of technology". Sometimes, the availability is how you have to form the needs.  It's not possible in all school to get a PEC device, or a motorized wheelchiar.  I think things like that also need to be considered.  You have to deal with what you have and make what you have work for you.
