Last Example of an AT device for IEP'S

Here is the last example of how to incorporate an AT device into a student’s IEP plan, so they can reach their set annual goals. 

Present Level of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance:

Andy uses a variety of sounds, gestures, signs, and picture/symbols to communicate with his family. He is very social and enjoys parallel play. Andy does not communicate vocally in the classroom, but does use some gestures. At school Andy will sign, but only with prompts.

Annual Goal:

Andy will increase expressive language production by using a variety of communication methods in the classroom, including sign language, gestures, communication boards, pictures, and simple voice output devices during four out of five opportunities.

 

Andy will use a simple voice output device to accommodate for his lack of communication skills. This will allow Andy to express his wants and needs by pushing a picture on his device which will voice his request.
