STUDENT
Child is a 4 year old male diagnosed with Developmental Delay Disorder. He enjoys school with peers and playing with toys. Child does not communicate well with others when it comes time to asking for what he wants from peers or adults. This results in many tantrums.
TASKS
Tasks are completed by the child when he is told what to do. Though, when the child wants to communicate with others, parents are continuously asking, "What is wrong, how can we help?" Tasks may need modifying and adapting. Caregivers should be a part of all tasks
Technology Choices
Communication Board: using this board will help the child choose the pictures and words to formulate a sentence that expresses what he wants or needs. There are different objects, basic needs, and fun pictures of toys that can be used with this board.
Evaluation Process

After using the assessments, we will then develop a client profile, determine the child's needs for communication, and explore AT options.
BDI: used to assess his communication skills, social skills, and daily routines.
ENVIRONMENT
Child has involved and supportive mom and dad. Child goes to preschool 4 time a week and plays well with children until conflict arises where he cannot express his wants and needs. At home, he plays alone, with parents and with the family dog.
TOOLS

Within 12 weeks, Chandler will form phrases on his communication board, without verbal cues or tantrums, for 4 weeks, in preparation for expressive communication.
Short Term goal:
Within 6 weeks, Chandler will form phrases on his communication board, with verbal cues, from the caregiver, for 4 consecutive weeks, in preparation for expressive communication.
