Sample IEP Goals for Literacy Using Assistive Technology
The
use of A.T. is not a goal in itself.
A.T. can be included in IEP goals, Specially
Designed Instruction (including as an accommodation for testing), Supports to
School Personnel, and as a related service.
·
A condition of goal or objective (e.g.“Using a voice output
communication device, child will name….”)
·
Included in Specially
Designed Instruction, (e.g. “Access to a computer for word processing
writing tasks longer than one paragraph” ); as an accommodation for testing
·
Related Services:“Student and parents will be trained by A.T.
consultant in use of A.T.”
·
Supports for School Personnel (e.g. “Teacher of child with hearing impairment
will be trained in use and maintenance of FM system.”)
