IEPs and AT: Voice Output Device


Present Level of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance: Mary currently communicates with sounds that are not always understood by those around her.  She often becomes upset when she is not understood.  She likes people and likes to be around both adults and children. She is beginning to play simple games. 

Annual Goal: Mary will communicate her interests and needs in three or more environments situations using a single message voice output device.

A voice output device supplements a students speech.  Since Mary has limited speech a voice output device would be an appropriate assistive technology for her.    As any person would, she becomes upset when she is not understood. Below is a picture of a voice output device. These devices can be set up with pictures and words/phrases that are appropriate for the student.
