Their App Smackdown document discusses evaluating apps using the SETT Framework, which considers a user's Skills, Environment, Tasks, and Tools, and examines several apps that may help individuals with autism in various environments by providing support for tasks. The document emphasizes selecting apps tailored to each individual's unique needs and abilities.

Editor's Notes
- #5 tablets have become the new normal as a result - everyone wants to discuss apps.
- #7 Workbook: Refer to Appendix 1 in back of workbook – “A Brief Introduction to the SETT Framework” Presenter says: The SETT framework was developed by Joy Zabala as a way for school based teams to focus their technology solutions for students with disabilities. The SETT is not an evaluation process but instead is a way to ensure that all the factors that lead to technology success are identified before a tool is put in place for a student. For our purposes, since we will be speaking about adults – we will change the “S” from “student” to “skills”.
- #8 too many apps! more is not better - focus on apps that make sense for you and your students what tasks need to be accomplished - what features do you need the app to have
- #9 a smackdown happens fast! we will share many resources throughout the hour. [describe rules of a smackdown] each of the apps we show will be added to the google doc we share with you at the end of the hour.
- #10 At the end – I will leave some time for you to share!
