AT Device Example for Specific IEP Goals



Present Level of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance: Mary currently communicates with sounds that are not always understood by those around her. She often becomes upset when she is not understood. She likes people and likes to be around both adults and children. She is beginning to play simple games.

Annual Goal: Mary will communicate her interests and needs in three or more environments/situations using a single message voice output device.

According to the above IEP, I would use a communication board that specifically meet the interests and needs of Mary. The GoTalk devices would have a picture button that would speak one word to communicate for Mary. The device would allow Mary to become part of the conversation without getting frustrated when people could not understand her. Please see below a picture of a GoTalk communication board.
