The OT is focusing on using dictation with Read and Write Google, while the TVI is focusing on using dictation with iOS. The student is learning to utilize dictation across multiple operating systems using a collaboration team approach. The team determined this was best because the student was experiencing high levels of stress because of increased academic pacing in upper elementary school and frustration with how long it took her to braille her responses in the classroom. One of my students will be using speech to text software or applications to demonstrate content knowledge.

When a student becomes frustrated expressing their ideas in writing in their primary learning medium and it has negative implications on learning and their self-esteem, the IEP team needs to consider what the best way is for the student to express his knowledge.
