Hello again. I have edited the revised language you sent to me, with particular consideration for your point about needed a testing period............................................Current Status: The goal of this consultation request is to explore whether or not a touchscreen device will increase DIR’s ability to learn and study. DIR is working on eye-gazing and a Speech Generating Device (SGD) to select an object of choice and demonstrate appropriate answers. Her instructor, Ms. Penic, stated that DIR is showing some correct responses when she works with apps on an iPad or a cause-and-effect activity on an iMac system. However, Ms. Penic stated that she does not have educational software for the iMac system. DIR is absent many days, and this has impacted her progress. The school speech language pathologist, Dr. Br., showed the evaluator a video of how DIR can engage in activities on an iPad. From the video, it was observed that DIR was able to focus on the screen of the iPad and engaged in the activities on the iPad. Recommendations: On the day of the evaluation, a touchscreen tablet (iPad), a touchscreen laptop, a mounting system, and a stand for the touchscreen tablet (iPad) were introduced. DIR came late and seemed to be tired and hungry. She was asked to work on an activity with prompts and with hand-over-hand assistance from her instructor. In spite of her health condition, on that day, she was able to sit in her activity chair for a long period of time to work on the activities (ReacTickles - Interactive Software Designed with Children on the Autism Spectrum Disorder and Multiple Disabilities). She occasionally touched the screen with her left hand, independently. Based on the observations made during this period, the touchscreen tablet (iPad) provided her with better accessibility to work on activities than the touchscreen laptop, and the apps on the touchscreen tablet (iPad) helped DIR engage in activities. Thus, the recommendation is for DIR to try using a touchscreen tablet (iPad) for a test period (duration to be set at a later date). During this test period, the touchscreen tablet (iPad) should be secured, using a stand or a mounting system, to ensure that it is accessible from DIR’s activity chair. Plan: The school team members will evaluate whether or not the use of a touchscreen tablet (iPad) with appropriate educational apps will increase DIR's performance in Social Skills, Life Skills, and Communication Skills, and observe how the touchscreen device help’s DIR access the curriculum in a general-education classroom. In addition, during the test period, the staff will determine if the device will be beneficial for school team members to develop Individual Learning Plans (ILPs) for DIR.
