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.
Along with using sign language and gestures, a communication board (like the one shown above) will give Andy his own independence and a voice in the classroom to help increase his expressive language with teachers and classmates. This AT device is customizable to fit Andy's communication needs. I believe this is an effective communication tool for Andy that will allow him to successfully complete his annual goal.
