Ben's IEP and clicker 5 (subtitles)

Introduction: Ben and Annie, specialist teacher, discuss how they use adaptive software Clicker 5 to store Ben's IEP goals and what this has meant to Ben's participation in his own goal setting. This footage was captured during 2010.

Annie: 	Okay Ben, you've been coming to your IEPs for 2 years now, and you've just started to take part in the meetings.
Ben: 	Oh.
Annie: 	Okay?
Ben: 	Yep.
Annie: 	So, when you're at the IEP meeting, what do you do?
Ben: 	Did listen.
Annie: 	You listen?
Ben: 	Yep.
Annie: 	What else do you do?
Ben: 	Listen and talk.
Annie: 	Okay. What do you want people at the IEP meeting to know about you?
Ben: 	Know how I go. Know how what might need next I would do.
Annie: 	So, you've got some ideas about what you want to learn next?
Ben: 	Yep.
Annie: 	Do the adults listen to these ideas?
Ben: 	Yep.
Annie:	And how do you let the adults know those ideas?
Ben: 	I just say it.
Annie: 	when the IEP meeting has finished, what do we do after that?
Ben: 	We'll do Clicker 5.
Annie: 	So we use Clicker 5? Why do we use Clicker 5 for our IEPs?
Ben: 	It’s good, and easy.
Annie: 	What's easy about Clicker 5
Ben: 	Got picture.
Annie: 	It's got pictures? What else has it got that helps you to remember?
Ben: 	I don't know.
Annie: 	Remember how we have the speech button?
Ben: 	Oh yes the speech button.
Annie: 	Why would you use a speech button?
Ben:	Make work easy for me.
Annie:	Okay. And before you go to an IEP meeting we also use Clicker 5 to locate the last goals that we have.
Ben: 	Yep.
