AT Device Example for Specific IEP Goals



Present Level of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance: Steven is a four-year-old boy diagnosed with pervasive developmental disorder. His placement is in an Early Childhood classroom. He is able to understand and comprehend when spoken to, but does not communicate his needs consistently. When choices are simplified and broken into steps, Steven will try to communicate wants and needs. Peer interactions are limited.

Annual goal: Steven will use a picture board or voice output device to express wants and needs to adults and peers in both home and school at least four times each day.

According to the above IEP present levels and annual goals, I would implement a simple one word or short phrase voice output device for Steven to use in his Early Childhood classroom and at home. A simple device will work for Stephen to begin communication with others since he is only four years old. The BIG MACK voice output device allows you to record short single messages and replay them back with a push of a large button. This will be easy for Stephen to use and access without much adult assistance. Please see below for a picture of the BIG MACK voice output device.
