Areas of Concern

26 seconds
Why did you request an AAC evaluation?

Well, Jordan was diagnosed with cerebral palsy in 2010, which is

typically not a progressive disease, but what we were finding is
that she was progressing into having difficulties walking, talking,
and prior to the evaluation a couple of years ago, she was able to
speak two- to three-word sentences, and that declined, and we
https://www.simucase.com/simucase/simulation/download_assessment/2ede5027-480a-47d6-abf7-05875f51110d 2/27
2/12/25, 12:21 AM Transcript

were wondering what was going on, so we had some genetic

testing done and found out that she does not have cerebral palsy;
she has what's called spastic paraplegia, which is a progressive
disease, and it's... Her particular mutation is very rare, and there's
not a lot of literature on it. So this is one of the reasons why we
wanted to be able to support her and allow her to communicate
better with us and her friends.

27 seconds
Describe Jordan's current therapies.

Currently, she's getting all the therapies at school, your speech

therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy. Outside private
therapies, we are getting physical therapy, occupational therapy,
she does a hippotherapy, which is the therapy on the horse. And
she also has the swimming once a week, which she's amazing at.

28 seconds
Describe Jordan's previous therapies.

Therapies in the past. Well, she started out with pretty much all the
same that I just spoke, and she's continued that throughout her
entire life really since about six months old. The only therapy we're
not doing now is the developmental therapy.

30 seconds
What are your goals for your child?

I want her to be a happy girl. I want her to be happy. I want her to

be free to communicate however she can and not be frustrated
and just to be able to sit on this couch with her family and tell us
exactly what she needs without us getting that look of frustration
and making her upset because we can't figure out what she wants.
Those little things like a cup of juice, so.

31 seconds
Describe progress Jordan has made.

https://www.simucase.com/simucase/simulation/download_assessment/2ede5027-480a-47d6-abf7-05875f51110d 3/27
2/12/25, 12:21 AM Transcript

So, earlier in her years when she was diagnosed with cerebral
palsy, she was making some great progress because we were
working toward her walking and she was using a walker. She had a
surgery called SDR, which is selective dorsal rhizotomy, which
releases the spasticity in her legs. And she was a rockstar, she was
doing great, making great strides, she was speaking more, she was
walking and really making great progress. And then two years after
that, she started to decline. And we lost a lot of the speech, she
wasn't able to communicate as well. Her upper body was more
affected, where before it was just her lower body. So... Jordan
works very hard, so the progress, she works as hard as she can to
strive in school and do very well in school. But we are seeing a
decline in her ability.

Developmental

35 seconds
Describe how she gets around at home and at school.

So she gets around at school through a her mobile wheelchair,

which comes every day, and the bus picks her up and takes her to
school in that. At home, there are several ways we get around in
our home. So she does have the motorized wheelchair that we
sometimes bring in the home. She also has a medical stroller,
which we use when we're out traveling, and she has a trike bicycle,
which she absolutely loves.

39 seconds
Tell me what activities Jordan can do independently.

So, Jordan's lost a little bit of her independence in the last few
years, but I can, that one thing that she does do very well
independently is swim. I mean, she does have some supportive
devices when she goes in the water, but she absolutely loves it.
And she's like a little fish. She does that very well by herself.

42 seconds
What do you need to help Jordan do?

https://www.simucase.com/simucase/simulation/download_assessment/2ede5027-480a-47d6-abf7-05875f51110d 4/27
2/12/25, 12:21 AM Transcript

The kind of things we need to help her to do would be, we have to

bathe her, we have to dress her, we feed her every day. So she's
lost the ability to do some of those things.

Medical

55 seconds
Describe any medication Jordan is taking.

She is, she's taking what's called Lamictal, and she has what's
called absence seizure disorder, and they're very difficult to detect.
It's more of a gazing off, daydreaming type of seizure. So the
medication we're taking has probably been the last four years.

Feeding / Swallowing

1 minutes 11 seconds
Does Jordan have any issues with eating and drinking?

Jordan has declined a bit in her eating and drinking. We've had
several swallow studies to ensure that there's no aspiration issues.
Thank goodness there has not been. But we have to take it slow
with Jordan when she's eating softer foods, drinking, just to make
sure she's sitting in the right position and she's getting enough of
that nutrition, so.

Language / Literacy

1 minutes 21 seconds
What are your thoughts on using an AAC device?

Well, this communication device is going to be really key for her to

communicate. She does have a lot to tell us, and she is a very
social, happy child, and we want to make sure that we're keeping
her feeling confident and wanting to be able to tell everyone what
she is thinking.

1 minutes 25 seconds

2/12/25, 12:21 AM Transcript

Describe what Jordan understands.

Jordan understands everything. She has the ability to really, she's

actually very intuitive with what people are saying, and she can
understand everything. She just has a hard time communicating it
and that's one of the reasons why we are wanting to do this.

1 minutes 30 seconds
Describe how she communicates with you and your family.

There's a lot of pointing, there's a lot of just noises to let us know

that she needs something. A lot of times, we have to pick her up
and she has to take us over to wherever it is that she needs
something so she can pull it off a shelf or get it out of the
refrigerator, and Jordan has a way of getting her point across.

1 minutes 54 seconds
Describe any strategies you use to communicate with Jordan.

We ask a lot of questions. The way we communicate with her is we

just, we use the room, we ask her if there's anything in the
particular room that she needs. We take her to that room for her
to show us and we, we try to, because she understands everything
that we say, we just try to do our best and try to identify it. And I
have to say it's very frustrating sometimes because sometimes we
just don't know what she needs.

2 minutes 31 seconds
Why are you wanting an SGD for your child?

I think that it's going to be something that she is going to thrive

with; I mean, she's going to be able to talk with her friends.
Typically what happens at school is, as you know for a third grader,
they move very quickly, so by the time Jordan explains what she
needs without a device, the kids are on to something else. So this
will really allow her to communicate with some of her very good
friends in school, her teachers. And they're really looking forward
to getting it because they do struggle every day with what she
needs and probably way more so than what we do. So that's one of
the reasons why we want to make sure that the school has the
https://www.simucase.com/simucase/simulation/download_assessment/2ede5027-480a-47d6-abf7-05875f51110d 6/27
2/12/25, 12:21 AM Transcript

ability to find out what she needs, and we also want to be able to
use that with our our family. And it's just something that we need
to be successful in knowing what she desires in life.

2 minutes 44 seconds
Are you willing to learn how to use the device and help teach your
daughter?

I am, we are, we're committed to learning the device because I

think it's critical for Jordan, and if we understand it, we can help
her through her process in learning it. So absolutely, we are very
open to that.

2 minutes 58 seconds
Why are you pushing so hard for her to have an AAC device? Don't
you think that will limit her speech?

I just want to help my daughter communicate.

2 minutes 58 seconds
Redirect #1

This question is insensitive, uses medical jargon, or is not

developmentally appropriate for your client.

3 minutes 5 seconds
What are the strategies she uses to communicate with you?

Very similar to what I just mentioned, the strategies that she uses
to communicate would be a lot of pointing. She has the ability to
yell out fairly loud, especially if she is really needing something like
having to use the restroom or she's hungry or thirsty. She does a
lot pointing, so.

3 minutes 12 seconds

https://www.simucase.com/simucase/simulation/download_assessment/2ede5027-480a-47d6-abf7-05875f51110d 7/27
2/12/25, 12:21 AM Transcript

What are the current limitations with how you communicate with
her?

Some of the limitations would be, we don't have the device, so that
in itself is difficult because Jordan has a lot to say, and when she
uses this device, I can tell that she is really able to express how
she's feeling, what mood she's in, what she likes, what she doesn't
like. And right now, we don't have that device, so we're limited, and
at some point some days, I feel like I don't even know my own
daughter, like I don't know what she needs. And that's a limitation
for us.

Social / Behavioral

3 minutes 27 seconds
What are Jordan's motivators? What does she enjoy?

She loves swimming, and she loves to ride horses. She's motivated
by music, and she loves to dance, and she likes to tell jokes. So she
loves to swim and she loves movies. She loves to travel. And she is
probably the best traveler on an airplane. She absolutely loves it.
And loves being around family, and she's just she's just loves being
around fun family events and loves music and dancing.

3 minutes 35 seconds
Why do you continue to take her to all these activities?

I'm trying to do what's best for my daughter.

Based on your experience with Jordan, what access methods do
you recommend we test with her?

Jordan has limited mobility. She is working to improve her postural

control, head righting, and crossing her midline. She is making
progress with crossing her midline, but her reach is not yet
accurate. When Jordan starts to move, even when she raises her
arms, the first thing she does is kick in her lower back into
extension. With her reach being limited and with reduced
accuracy, it will be very challenging for her to access a device with
her hands. Additionally, I have had limited success with her being
consistent with a switch.

Jordan uses a speech generating device (SGD) at school, and I

believe it is a program on her iPad. Her teachers and parents
report that she uses a speech generating device to communicate
for a variety of purposes; however, has difficulty accessing it due to
her physical limitations. AAC is not my area of expertise. I
recommend you collaborate with the PRC Regional Consultant.

Please provide an overview of the services you provided to Jordan.

We were working on verbalizations and maximizing her verbal

speech output. She was not making progress with producing
intelligible speech and actually started to decline and say less and
less verbally. She shows frustration at her communication
difficulties and can become upset easily when she is unable to
communicate effectively. She enjoys being around people and is
very social, so I am pleased that she was referred for an AAC
evaluation.

Describe Jordan's receptive and expressive language abilities.

When I was working with her, she followed functional directions

when she was physically able to do so. She demonstrated
understanding of everyday conversation by laughing appropriately
at humor. She was informally assessed and showed understanding
of basic concepts such as location words, categories, size, shape,
colors, relationships between similar words, and a basic
understanding of synonyms and antonyms. Jordan understands
significantly more than she is able to communicate. Expressively,
Jordan communicates primarily through facial expressions and
AAC. Initially, she was saying some functional phrases verbally, but
her verbal skills have progressively declined. She has previous
diagnoses of dysarthria as well as mixed expressive/receptive
language disorder.

eye tracking, or scanning to access their words and
communication. With a Unity-configured Accent, communication
can grow from early first words to sophisticated language. Another
great option for pediatric clients is Picture WordPower running on
an Accent. It has a variety of levels to meet the needs of this
population. In addition to communication, Accent has engaging
activities to help someone learn and practice eye tracking or other
access methods. These are two great options for pediatric clients
who need an alternate access method.

Jordan's ability to achieve functional communication goals requires

the acquisition and use of the Accent 1400 with Look eye tracking
with Unity 84 Sequenced mounted on a table stand. This SGD and
accessories represents the least costly and most clinically
appropriate device for Jordan. It offers the device software, access
method, mounting, and language features needed by Jordan for
functional communication, thus empowering her to participate
actively in a variety of situations.
