Mike Bartlett
June 2007
Congratulations to Mike Bartlett, SET-BC’s Provincial Coordinator, who will be retiring at the end of the school year. 
Mike has played an important role in BC’s assistive technology community for more than twenty years and he has been the leader of the SET-BC program since it was initiated in 1989. Under Mike’s direction, SET-BC has grown from a small pilot project to a provincial program that is widely recognized as a model for effective AT service delivery in education. He has always believed that students with special needs could benefit from the use of assistive technology and has put in place services and programs to help them to achieve their educational goals.
Mike’s vision for SET-BC has led to the development of many innovative projects that have created new opportunities for our students. In recent years, the Provincial Software Acquisition Plan, the Technology Access Project, the Universal Design for Learning Project, and many other initiatives have pushed the boundaries of SET-BC’s services. Led by Mike, the SET-BC team has taken on many challenges and has built capacity in BC schools for assistive technology implementation. His ongoing contributions will be missed, but Mike has left a strong legacy that will make SET-BC a continued success in the future.
Thank you Mike, and best wishes for a happy retirement.
