IEP device #2

As talked about in my previous post, there are different devices to use for different IEPs.

Example 1:

Present Level of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance: Johnny uses his right hand to write and to physically position his left arm and hand. He has difficulty managing papers as he writes. He collects and utilizes a lap tray, incline board, non-slip mat and modified clipboard but often waits for staff to set up modifications.

     Annual Goal: Johnny will initiate the set-up of his writing station 80% of the time given a chart of needed materials for each task.

I think that a tape or cd recorder would help Johnny to help initiate the set-up of his writing station. He has all of the skills necessary to gather the materials and bring them to his desk but he has trouble motivating himself to complete the steps of set up. A teacher should come up with the steps for him to listen to each morning and have it become part of his daily routine. This would help to meet the students goal to set-up his writing station 80% of the time given a chart of needed materials for each task.
