    This is a literacy resource for prep children. I like the use of images as this is age appropriate. The main concern I would have is that it is quite limited in the number of examples of rhyming words given.

  • Toolbelt Theory is based in the concept that students must learn to assemble their own readily available collection of life solutions.
  • Task1. What needs to be done? (when possible, break the task down into component parts)
  • Environment1. Where must this be done (or is typically done)?2. Under what time constraints?3. What is the standard method of task completion?4. How does the person with the disability interact within this environment?5. Who is the task being done for? (specifics of teacher, employer, other expectations)

  • Schools
  • Tools1. What tool best "bridges the gap" between the current skill set and what is needed for task completion?2. If the tool is not already "in the toolbox" (the person has been successfully trained in its use), how does the environmental timeline match with the needed learning curve?3. If it is not possible to use the "best tool" within this environment what is the "back-up tool"? How do we pre-train so the best tool can be used the next time?
  • Skills1. What specific strengths does the person with the disability bring to this task?2. What specific weaknesses interfere with that person's ability to complete the task?3. What is that person's "tool acquisition aptitude" and what tools are they currently comfortable with?
  • must be preparing students to use the technology that will be around in the next decade.
  • The goal is to empower students to continuously assess their changing needs and the ever changing technological environment that surrounds them, and allow them to build their own toolbelts of appropriate solutions to their life challenges.
  • Toolbelt Theory" suggests that we must teach our students how to analyze tasks, the task-completion environment, their own skills and capabilities, an appropriate range of available tools… and let them begin to make their own decisions.
