Augmentative Communication Integrated into IEP

Augmentative communication evaluations should be included in the IEP for all students who have trouble with communications.  These should be outlined and monitored.  There are fundamental opportunities for students to use the augmentative communication in the classroom.  It should be integrated for easier use and acceptance by the student.  The IEP should have goals that are aligned with the rest of the student's components and elected outcomes.  Everything must be stated in clear terms across the environments involved in the student's education.  There should be lists of services and the related personnel as well.
