Barb (IEP 4)

      Present Level of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance: Barb is a 15-year old girl. She uses a modified wheelchair with a specialized insert. She is medically fragile and has no speech, because her vocal cords were damaged as an infant. She does have mood swings that are triggered by various situations that result in self abusive behaviors. She enjoys music and being talked to. She has difficulty in large rooms. She cannot tolerate loud sounds. She has limited experience in integrated settings.

      Annual goal: Barb will use a voice output device to respond in Life Skills class on three out of five opportunities.

The best way for Barb to be able to express herself is through a voice output device. This device will allow her to participate in class and to have her voice heard if she needs help or wants something and because she is so fragile this will pair well with her limitations.
