Here is another example of how to apply knowledge of IEP considerations for AT. Below is Eric's Present Levels and Academic Goals:
Present
Level of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance:
Eric participates in regular education programs for his academic
subjects. His hand strength is limited and he fatigues quickly when doing any
handwriting task. Civics and English homework are a particular problem because
of lengthy assignments and reports that need to be completed.
Annual Goal:
Eric will use a computer or portable word processor to complete 100% of
his assignments in 10th grade English and Civics classes.
AT Recommendations for Eric:
Eric would benefit from a portable word processor such as Chrome Book and a speech recognition software program such as Dragon. The portable word processor will allow Eric to bring the device to Civics and English class. Dragon speech recognition software will allow Eric to speak into a microphone and translate his words into text in a word processing program. This will help Eric to write his reports and complete his assignments in a efficient manner.

ReplyDeleteWe have just started using the Chrome notebooks at school and your post makes me even more excited to use them. I hope that they also come with the Dragon software you mentioned in your post. Thanks for the great info!
