Present Level of Academic
Achievement and Functional Performance:
- Michael is in the second grade classroom for most of the school day.
- He is interested in the material being presented by the teacher and wants to participate.
- He has a full time paraprofessional who assists him.
- He has difficulty being an active participant in academics because he uses a voice output AAC device and frequently does not have the “right” answer.
- The teacher is concerned at the amount of time it currently takes while Michael struggles to answer questions.
- The teacher is interested in finding ways for Michael to more actively participate.
- Michael will use eye gaze and prerecorded messages to respond to appropriately phrased questions in four subject area classes (mathematics, reading, science and social studies) in three out of five opportunities.
An eye gaze device (shown above) will allow Michael to generate speech by typing a message or selecting pre-programmed sentences/phrases. This will help decrease the time it takes him to answer questions, while also allowing him to actively participate in all four subject area classes.
