Example 10:
Present Level of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance: Jeff likes to interact with his family. He enjoys
eating and being involved in meal time and other functional activities in the
home. He has not been able to participate in cooking or cleaning except to look
toward the item that is needed next, or make a sound when his mother purposely
“forgets” something.
Annual Goal: Jeff will use a single switch to activate adapted
utensils and appliances to assist family members in targeted functional
household tasks during three out of four opportunities.
STO 1: Jeff will activate the blender and mixer with a single
switch at appropriate times to participate in preparing meals in three out of
four opportunities on three consecutive trials.
STO 2: Jeff will activate the vacuum cleaner using a single
switch at appropriate times when cued by his mother to participate in vacuuming
in three out of four opportunities on three consecutive trials.
The above image is of an AT device called the Jelly Beamer which provides single switch wireless access. With its wireless capabilities, it eliminates the use of a cord, and can be used from a greater distance across the room. This will aid in Jeff meeting his short term objectives as well as his annual goal by making participation in functional household tasks easier and more accessible. This single switch operator will enable Jeff to activate the vacuum cleaner or blender from where he is most comfortable and supported.
