Participants will learn about the four "specialized formats" (braille, audio, digital text, and large print) as well as the SETT framework (student - environment - tasks - tools) developed by Joy Zabala, which is available to provide an organizational structure, and to guide teams through the decision-making process of selecting the appropriate specialized format(s) for a student. The webinar will provide scenarios and resources for school teams and families.
