IEP Example 5 - Andy

Present Level of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance: Andy uses a variety of sounds, gestures, signs, and picture/symbols to communicate with his family. He is very social and enjoys parallel play. Andy does not communicate vocally in the classroom, but does use some gestures. At school Andy will sign, but only with prompts.

Annual Goal: Andy will increase expressive language production by using a variety of communication methods in the classroom, including sign language, gestures, communication boards, pictures, and simple voice output devices during four out of five opportunities.

 

• As a nonverbal student, Andy’s communication board is very important to his success in the classroom. He will use this to communicate with his peers. These voice output devices will also help Andy communicate with his teachers.
