Becky's AT recommendations

Becky is one more example of how to apply AT considerations to a student's IEP. Her present levels, annual goal and AT recommendations are below.

Present Level of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance:  
Becky is learning to read and is anxious to complete writing assignments with her peers. She is not able to produce handwritten material due to severe spastic quadriplegia. Becky is interested in using the computer and has been introduced to it. The staff has helped Becky experiment with several switches in a variety of locations. She seems to be most accurate using a switch mounted next to her head.

Annual Goal:  

Becky will use a single switch mounted on a switch-mounting arm positioned to the right side of her head and scanning software to access the computer 9 out of 10 times for a variety of educational assignments.

Becky's AT Recommendations:  

Becky would benefit greatly from using an Tobii EyeMobile eye scanner and Jelly Bean Twist wireless switch. The technology in the eye scanner can allow Becky to access the computer using only her eyesight, which will help her overcome her limited mobility. The Jelly Bean wireless switch will be accommodating for when she has to turn on the device using only her head. It can be mounted on her wheelchair next to the right side of her head.
