I previously talked about Eric and how he can use a laptop
or portable word processor to write his assignments 100% of the time. You can read about Sarah’s IEP below.
Present Level of
Academic Achievement and Functional Performance: Sarah can use eye gaze
fairly successfully to indicate her wants and needs when items are
appropriately displayed so that her communication partner can tell what she is
gazing at. She currently makes a grunting sound to greet others, to get
attention, and to represent both yes and no. She has recently been using a
four-message output device and is having some success at making choices. Sarah
travels independently about the school in her power chair.
Annual Goal: Sarah
will interact with others in the school environment in four out of five
opportunities to indicate her preferences and needs using voice output devices
and eye gaze strategies.
Sarah can use these two communication devices above. The first is a symbol based voice output
device where Sarah can pick the picture that associates to her answer and will
speak it aloud. The second is a text to
speech device. This voice output device can
store frequently used words or phrases that can be accessed by two or three key
combinations. Both of these voice output
devices can be attached to her power chair.
