Keep the Student, Environments, Tasks, and Tools at the center of assistive technology decision-making while using evalKeeper to organize documentation, device trials, recommendations, reports, implementation, and follow-up.
SETT and evalKeeper serve different but complementary purposes.
evalKeeper is the digital workspace where the information, evidence, decisions, reports, and next steps can remain connected.
The SETT Framework encourages collaborative teams to gather and organize information about the student, the environments in which the student participates, the tasks the student needs to perform, and the tools that may provide appropriate support.
It helps prevent technology from becoming the starting point. Before selecting a device or feature, the team can first build a shared understanding of the person, the context, and the activities that matter.
evalKeeper does not replace that decision-making process. It provides a flexible assistive technology assessment platform where professionals can create SETT-based templates, document responses, collect trial evidence, develop recommendations, generate reports, and maintain implementation and follow-up information.
Teams can continue using the assessment approach they trust while reducing reliance on disconnected forms, documents, spreadsheets, email messages, and separate task lists.
A SETT-based assessment can help teams consider the individual and the context surrounding technology use, rather than focusing only on a device.
Document strengths, current abilities, functional needs, preferences, challenges, goals, and the supports already available to the student.
Consider the physical, social, instructional, and organizational settings in which the student is expected to participate and use assistive technology.
Identify the specific activities the student needs to complete to participate, communicate, learn, create, move, access information, or demonstrate knowledge.
After considering the student, environments, and tasks, identify possible devices, features, services, accommodations, strategies, and other supports.
evalKeeper can help prevent the SETT discussion from becoming a form that is completed once and then separated from trials, recommendations, reporting, and implementation.
Document Student, Environments, Tasks, and existing supports.
Identify device features, strategies, and services that may address the barriers.
Record sessions, observations, scoring, photos, outcomes, and team feedback.
Carry evidence into recommendations, reports, tasks, training, and follow-up.
evalKeeper does not force every organization into one fixed assessment form. Templates can be adapted to the questions, terminology, categories, and documentation requirements used by your team.
Build a structured template around Student, Environments, Tasks, and Tools, then include additional sections required by your practice or organization.
Connect potential tools to structured trial sessions, notes, scoring, evidence, measurable outcomes, and team observations.
Keep the documented needs, environments, tasks, tool features, trial findings, and rationale connected to the final recommendation.
Maintain tasks, reminders, training needs, implementation details, and ongoing review after a tool has been selected.
Allow appropriate team members and collaborators to contribute while using roles and permissions to control access.
Some organizations use SETT directly. Others use WATI forms or assessment processes influenced by WATI and SETT. Many teams have also modified those resources to meet local practices and documentation requirements.
evalKeeper supports that flexibility. You can build reusable digital assessment templates around the questions and categories your team already uses, instead of being required to abandon your established assessment approach.
evalKeeper supports the framework without prescribing one fixed assessment method for every professional or organization.
Yes. You can create reusable assessment templates organized around Student, Environments, Tasks, and Tools. evalKeeper then helps connect that documentation to device trials, recommendations, reports, implementation, and follow-up.
No. SETT is a collaborative assistive technology decision-making framework. evalKeeper is a digital platform that can be used to organize and document a SETT-based assessment process.
Yes. A template can contain sections for Student, Environments, Tasks, and Tools, along with any additional categories, questions, answer choices, instructions, or documentation required by your organization.
Yes. evalKeeper supports flexible assistive technology assessment workflows. Organizations can build reusable templates influenced by WATI resources, SETT, or an assessment process developed internally.
Yes. Information collected during the assessment can be selected for inclusion in reports, helping connect the student's needs, environments, tasks, tool considerations, trials, evidence, and recommendations.
Request a 30-day trial and see how reusable assessment templates, device trials, recommendations, reports, implementation planning, and follow-up can remain connected in one platform. No credit card is required.
