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.
Because Steven is so young the best tool for him would be the picture board. It allows him to communicate by pointing at what he wants or needs. This board can also help Steven interact with his peers because at four years old they also understand the options. Steven can feel like he's getting his point across to his teachers and receiving peer interaction too.
