| Abstract: | The article focuses on the role of assistive technology (AT) in supporting communication development for students who are deafblind. It highlights that deafblindness encompasses a range of sensory impairments, and effective communication is crucial for these individuals, often requiring tailored approaches that integrate various forms of communication, including gestures, sign language, and technology. The article emphasizes the importance of collaborative assessment and planning using the Student, Environment, Tasks, Tools (SETT) framework to identify appropriate AT solutions that cater to the unique needs of each student. Additionally, it discusses the significance of familiar communication partners and the integration of technology to enhance communication opportunities across different environments.
