IEPs and AT: Eye Gaze & Prerecorded Messages


Present Level of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance: Michael is in the second grade classroom for most of the school day.  He is interested in the material being presented by the teacher and wants to participate.  He has a full time paraprofessional who assists him.  He has difficulty being an active participant in academics because he uses a voice output AAC device and frequently does not have the “right” answer.  The teacher is concerned at the amount of time it currently takes while Michael struggles to answer questions.  The teacher is interested in finding ways for Michael to more actively participate.

Annual Goal: Michael will use eye gaze and prerecorded messages to respond to appropriately phrased questions in four subject area classes, mathematics, reading, science, and social studies in three out of five opportunities.


Michael can use a keyboard that is controlled by his eye gaze. Using prerecorded messages can help him develop the questions that he would like to ask and will allow him to participate in class.
