IEP 3 - 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.


      In the previous post the students use AT devices to communicate in class. Eric is in inclusive classrooms throughout the day. He is mentally able to keep up with the work and on target. However, his hand strength is weak and is causing him to fall behind on his work. Therefore, his annual goal states that he is able to use a word processor or computer to complete his work. One might not think of a computer as a AT devices, however, it is a great devices and has so many useful programs to help students with special needs and students without special needs. Eric will be able to use the computer to type his work with less hand motions. He can type his notes and assignments to keep on track with the class. Also, a laptop would be easy access and able to be portable from classroom to classroom.
