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.
STO 1: During meal times at school and at home, Steven will use a
picture board to point to at least three of six foods he wants to eat, two of
three meals each day.
STO 2: Using a voice output device, Steven will make a choice of a
“center” he wishes to participate in during choice/work time three or four days
per week.
STO 3: During group story time, Steven will use a single
message voice output device to complete a repeated story line with peers 90% of
the time as observed on 10 random trials
Suggested Device: Steven will use a voice output system, such as the SuperTalker Progressive Communicator. This communicator will help Steven progress, as one can start with one message and then progress to two, four, or eight messages. Steven will not have to learn to use a new device as this device can progress with Steven as he gets older, too. It also has keyguards!
Example: SuperTalker Progressive Communicator
