Sample IEP and Appropriate AT Device 1

IEP for Eric:

Present Level of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance: Eric participates in regular education programs for his academic subjects. His hand strength is limited and he fatigues quickly when doing any handwriting task. Civics and English homework are a particular problem because of lengthy assignments and reports that need to be completed.

Annual Goal: Eric will use a computer or portable word processor to complete 100% of his assignments in 10th grade English and Civics classes.

 

These devices will help Eric to meet his goals of completing his English and Civics assignments, because they will limit the fatigue that can be caused by traditional writing methods and require less hand strength to produce his work.
