IEP's (Part 4)

Our fourth IEP I bring to you is:

*Mary

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.

Since Mary's communication is limited by the confusion of her sounds to other people which in turn make Mary frustrated, she can use a single message voice output device that enables Mary to simply communicate in one sound. Thus, allowing her to get her message across to others so they understand Mary's request. This device can allow Mary to effectively communicate her wants and needs in three or more environment/situations as her goal outlines.
