Present Level of Academic Achievement and
Functional Performance: Kelly is in the third grade classroom for most
of his day. He has a full time paraprofessional who assists him. He is unable
to use a standard keyboard because of his physical limitations. Additionally,
his speech is frequently unintelligible. He currently uses single message and
multiple message voice output devices, eye gaze, and limited direct selection
to complete his academic work. Kelly is functioning at about the second grade
level in most curricular areas.
Annual Goal:
Kelly will use an adapted keyboard with custom overlays and a computer with
talking word processing to complete all academic work.
According to the above IEP present levels and annual
goals, I would implement an adapted keyboard to allow Kelly to use the computer
to complete his academic work. I would create an adapted keyboard which is
placed over the keyboard with specific keys uncovered so Kelly can press one
key at a time due to his physical limitations. A larger keyboard may be helpful to Kelly with larger keys due to his physical limitations. Please see below some examples
of adapted keyboards.
