Individual Environment
Task & Tools (IETT)
Assessment
The Individual Environment Task & Tools
(IETT) is an assessment that looks at the
person’s current use of technology, tasks
the person wants to complete, and the
environment or setting for those tasks.
Once this has been determined, the IETT
identies specic tools or technology that
can be used to achieve a person’s goal in a
specic environment. A separate IETT can
be completed for each environment and
compared to see where there are similar
and dierent goals.
ABOUT THE TOOL
This tool is ongoing and should
be updated and revisited
Use as a tool to help you stay
on track
You can ll out one IETT per
environment
Tips
The Individual Environment Task & Tools (IETT) helped Sara and
her sta identify where to start when rst beginning this project.
It helped them get a better understanding of Sara’s support team
and helped assign responsibilities. Sara was able to participate
in her own plan and advocate for the things she wants to do and
what is important to/for her. This is a living document that can be
updated as situations in Sara’s environment change.
