<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi: I am interested in knowning if there is a
checklist for a student of mine who is autistic and visually impaired. I need to
indicate in my annual goal and short term objectives how I measure this
student's growth. I am currently on communication skills with this child, age 7,
who i s visually impaired and autistic; I am using a picture exchange
communication system. The child is already to hand me one picture when I guide
his hand. He is also now able to hand me one picture when agiven the verbal
prompt to look at the picture and hand it to me. He is then is given his
reinforcer which a food. Since, this child is unable to focus for a 390 minute
session, after a certain amount of trials and handing me the ppicture and
receiving the food the picture represents, he is allowed to go for a walk for a
few minutes. I have found that this method works well. If anyone know about a
checklist I can use to monitor his progress please inform me since I would need
to include this information in his IEP annual goal and short term objectives now
known as benchmarks. Thanks for any assistance anyone can provide
me.</FONT></DIV>

myself, I labeled all pictures in braille, so I could select the picture to work
on with the student.</FONT></DIV>
