Kelly is in a third grade classroom for most of his day and has a full-time paraprofessional who assists him, but functions at a second grade level in most curricular areas. Because of his physical limitations, he is unable to use a standard keyboard and his speech is frequently unintelligible. Currently, he uses single message and multiple message voice output devices, eye gaze, and limited direct selection to complete his academic work.
Annual Goal
Kelly will use an adapted keyboard with custom overlays and a computer with talking word processing to complete all academic work.
Short Term Objectives (STO):
1. By using an adapted keyboard with a custom spelling template, Kelly will complete a 10 word weekly spelling test taken from second grade curriculum and his current reading materials, with 80% accuracy.
2. By using an adapted keyboard with a customer overlay with three character names and facts or characteristics about them from a current reading selection, Kelly will generate three sentences describing a characters or their actions with 100% accuracy on three out of four opportunities.
3. After participating in a cooperative group science project, Kelly
will use an adapted keyboard with a custom overlay that randomly lists three to
five steps involved in the science project sequentially with 80% accuracy and "read" them to his group as the
"recorder" on three out of four opportunities.
4. Using a basic numbers overlay on an adapted keyboard, Kelly will
complete his adjusted daily math assignment with 100% accuracy on four out of
five opportunities.
An adapted keyboard with special overlays, like the picture above, specific for Kelly's needs will benefit him to aid comprehension and increase classroom participation.
