Directions: Think through new settings or environments in terms of what is required of you in order for you to do your best. What tasks will be required of you? List those in the left-hand column. Next, consider those setting demands in light of your learning profile, and list any challenges which you foresee in the middle column. Pinpoint the cause of difficulty and the effect it will have. Finally, consider how you will deal with each challenge, given the possible accommodations and services available, as well as your knowledge of compensatory strategies. List your plan of action in the right-hand column.
