Laura's Iep Case Study

Rationale

Laura’s IEP team constructed four following goals and objectives:
1) Communication: During small groups and meal times, Laura will use 1-2 word utterances, spoken and/or signed for a variety of intents (i.e. to request, deny, label, comment, state wants/needs, and share past experiences) with peers/adults in the classroom.
2) Communication: During small group and learning center times, Laura will increase overall intelligibility with peers/adults by producing age-appropriate speech sounds / p, b, k, g/ in the initial and final positions of single words.
Laura is a very social child and we are hoping she will want to directly communicate with her peers during preschool settings. The goal is to have a sign language interpreter sign
Currently, Laura’s baseline is having her keep her hearing aids in and not removing them. We are working on her getting comfortable with having a new hearing device in all areas of her life. We have found that if she isn’t concern about her hearing aids and just focus on listen, she is quick to identify, respond, and/or imitate the sound. We are still working provide Laura a balance of mouthing words and signing words after listening to instructions that have been signed to her. The team is confident that these four goals and objectives will developmentally appropriate for Laura during this year of preschool and next year’s school year. She has a very supportive family that will support her in any local services over the
