Evaluations are focused on the individual need. We like to follow Joy Zabala’s SETT framework. We take into consideration the Student, the Enviornment and how it effects the student. The Task the student needs to do and how the environment supports it and finally the Tools the student needs to accomplish the task. The solution may not be high tech, but rather a low tech. We make all evaluations with cost in mind, and client expectations!
