The Strategies and Accommodations Tool (SAT) was developed to be used with the Brainstorming Solutions Tool (BST). Once a service provider identifies issues on the BST, they would look at the SAT to help decide which strategies could best help the person being served. They could do this along with the person-served to get their input. The SAT is like a reminder list to help the provider remember the different strategies that could be used. The SAT looks at all the areas on the BST and provides a box next to each strategy to check off what might work. An area for assistive technology suggestions is included. Next to each area are initials indicating what other professional could be consulted to provide expert opinion in that area. A key is provided with the professional their initials.
Use the Brainstorming Solutions Tool (BST) first, to help you figure out the person’s strengths and weaknesses. Then use this tool (SAT) to check off the strategies that might be helpful for each area you identify on the BST. When possible, complete this form with the person served and discuss the strategies with them. Ask the person if there are other strategies or ways of communicating with them that might be helpful.
