Sorry I used Lar to refer one individual.
I needed to use a different style and omit some sections. I will send another one after this.

Current Status: Lar has a hand-dexterity limitation and has difficulty in note taking and writing. To help her accommodations, Lar was recommended for a Windows Accessibility feature (voice recognition assistive feature) and a laptop in an Assistive Technology Evaluation conducted  on 3/29/12.  She currently has received the following items:
1. LATITUDE 2120 laptop with 1 GB RAM
2. Microsoft Office 2010
3. Plantronics headset with a USB adaptor
No internal or external DVD/CD ROM was supplied with this laptop. The laptop runs slow due to insufficient RAM. According to her case manager, Lar has not been able to use the laptop because her voice was not recognized by the Windows accessibility, voice recognition assistive feature.The school staff reported that Lar did not have a trial of the voice recognition assistive feature during her previous assessment. The evaluator noticed that the audio setting on the system has been configured differently than her Plantronics headset. Also when Lar tested the voice recognition assistive feature with a different headset, her voice was not easily recognized due to the surrounding background noise.
 
Recommendations:  Even with the correct audio setting, a voice recognition assistive feature is not recommended to be used in a noisy environment such as in a classroom setting. If the school staff wishes to continue exploring the voice recognition assistive feature for Lar, she may test with Dragon Naturally Speaking. However, voice recognition works only in a quiet environment and requires a better system configuration (e.g. Minimum of 3GB RAMS for Windows 7). It is important to realize that individuals often get frustrated with the inaccuracy of voice recognition and ultimately this software may not be a suitable option. Regarding classroom accommodations, it is more essential to identify note-taking options. During the visit a smart pen (Live Scribe pen) was introduced and Lar was able to use this pen to record the conversation with her case manager.The evaluator discussed additional note taking options with her case manager.

Plan:  The integration of additional assistive technology device options and strategies will help her to access her curriculum in a more independent fashion. Lar and the identified school team members will explore other note-taking options in her classrooms. If Laraven and her school team still consider the use of the voice recognition assistive feature as her Lar's written production tool, it is recommended that Lar evaluate the voice recognition assistive feature at home.
