Round+5

= Round 5: Influence Mapping = === In this round the participants are engaged in a synchronous, virtual interaction to construct a relational map displaying the influences among actions of higher relative importance, as determined from the voting results of Round 4. This "Influence Tree" draws distinctions between actions that exert strong leverage, appearing at the roots of the relational tree (the drivers), and actions that are less influential appearing at the branches of the tree. Drawing these distinctions are critical in the design of a regional action plan for overcoming the barriers to the actualization of an ideal, sustainable model for Assistive Technology services to improve student outcomes. ===

=== The construction of the Root Drivers Map by the group of participants completes the group work with the utilization of the Structured Dialogic Design (SDD) approach. The Influence Map represents a collaborative agreement by the stakeholders on "what will be done" for dealing with the barriers (Co-Laboratory I) to approximate the statewide vision for and ideal model of Assistive Technology services in Michigan to improve access to and progress in the general education curriculum. ===
