Integrating Augmentative Communication into an IEP





Augmentative Communication can be integrated into an IEP buy placing it in either the goal or SDI sections of the IEP.  When placing any assistive technology into an IEP, it is important to remember that you should never use brand names.  This would mean that only that specific kind of device would be allowed to be used.  Not all districts use the same devices and you have to prepare the IEP as if anyone district could follow it in case the student moves.  

It is very important that goals are written for students that use augmentative communication as their only means of communicating.  The device should be used on a daily basis to give these students a voice.
