SETT Framework
The SETT Framework – an acronym for Student, Environments, Tasks and Tools – is a decision-making tool originally designed to help collaborative teams gather and organise information that can be used to guide decisions about assistive technology (AT) devices and services that foster the educational success of students with disabilities (Zabala, 1995).

Universal Design for Learning & Accessible Educational Material
Joy was at the forefront advocating for Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and Accessible Educational Materials (AEM).
UDL was viewed as the technology initiative based on the process of building in accessibility and achievement supports that address the diverse learning needs of all students. Universal Design for Learning calls for the use of multiple means of representation to give learners various ways of acquiring information and knowledge, multiple means of expression to provide learners alternatives for demonstrating what they know, and multiple means of engagement to tap into learners' interests, offer appropriate challenges, and increase motivation.
