Parent and/or Student Concerns

What concern(s) does the parent and/or student want to see addressed in this IEP to enhance the student's education?

     Jonny's parents are concerned about his ability to complete multi-step tasks in both ELA and
Mathematics. Jonny has a hard time paying attention for an extended period of time. When Jonny is distracted,
he often misses key information which seems to be affecting his classwork completion. Jonny’s Dad is
concerned that he has trouble following multi-step directions, especially in math and ELA. He is also concerned
that Jonny’s inattentiveness may be perceived as a lack of interest in material, while it really implies that he
needs additional support. He wants to ensure that Jonny does not fall through the cracks.

Student Strengths and Key Evaluation Results Summary

What are the student’s educational strengths, interest areas, significant personal attributes and personal accomplishments?
What is the student’s type of disability(ies), general education performance
including MCAS/district test results, achievement towards goals and lack of expected progress, if any?

   
General education: Jonny is a sociable and kind student who successfully completes work with teacher
support. If provided with guided questions, he can be successful in independent reading tasks that include 1 to
2 comprehension questions. His writing skills are on grade level and he does complete his work within the
class time. Jonny loves to participate in group work and has strong speaking skills during these times.

Special education: Jonny has really strong oral language skills and is skilled at following directions. During
his testing session, the administrator noted that Jonny performed adequately in mathematical applied problem
solving. Although Jonny needs support in math, he does have foundational skills that support him in
completing schoolwork. Other strengths of Jonny’s include receptive and expressive language, auditory and
verbal memory, and critical thinking skills.

Currently, Jonny is able to access the general education curriculum with modifications on tests/quizzes and
assignments when necessary. He has the option to take his assessments in the skills room and to have it read
to him. He is also given extra time to complete assessments and long term assignments. Jonny is given
graphic organizers, models, rubrics, study guides, word banks and reference sheets, manipulatives, and
written directions to assist him in completing his assignments. Student is given clarification and repetition of
information and time to process it. He receives 1:1 check-ins before beginning in class assignments. When
transitioning into a class Jonny benefits from having time to refocus himself before giving him a direction.

WJ-III Assessment: Jonny was referred for an academic achievement evaluation as part of a comprehensive
TEAM evaluation in order to determine eligibility for Special Education and/or related services. Jonny’s
performance on the WJ-III test ranged from Extremely Low range to the Average range. Student scored in the
Extremely Low range on the Math Fluency subtest. Jonny scored in the Low range on the Spelling subtests.
Jonny scored in the Low Average range on the Reading Fluency, Passage Comprehension, and Calculation
subtests. He scored in the Average range on the Letter-Word Identification, Writing Fluency, Writing Samples,

Massachusetts DESE/Individualized Education Program Page 1 of 9

 Applied Problems, Story Recall and Understanding Directions subtests. On the Gray Test of Oral Language,
Jonny scored in the Below Average range in Fluency and in the Average range for Rate, accuracy and
comprehension.

Speech and Language: When assessed for his short term memory, Jonny achieved a scaled score of 14,
which was placed in the high average range compared to his peers of students of the same chronological age.
Students expressive and receptive language skills where age appropriate in the realm of speech and
language. There was no evidence of a language processing delay or word retrieval deficit.

Psycho-educational: Student was referred for a psychoeducational evaluation as part of a comprehensive 3-

Year Re-evaluation process in order to determine eligibility for Special Education and/or related services.
Results of current testing suggest strong verbal and perceptual reasoning skills ranging from average to
above average. Comparatively, measures of short-term auditory working memory and processing speed were
within the low average range. Expanded measures of memory when working with contextualized verbal
content were within age-expectations. Despite his strong problem solving-abilities when working with both
visual and verbal content, Student’s weaknesses with working memory and variable processing speed skills,
especially when larger amounts of fine-motor/handwritten output are required, leave him at risk for missing
content in a classroom setting.

Vision Statement: What is the vision for this student?

Consider the next 1 to 5 year period when developing this statement. Beginning no later than age 14,
the statement should be based on the student’s preferences and interest,
and should include desired outcomes in adult living, post-secondary and working environments.
     Our vision is that Jonny be able to complete grade level work in reading, writing, and math. We hope to
see him continue to grow in spelling and math fluency while remaining on target to succeed. We would like to
see Jonny become more confident in his abilities as a student, especially in writing. We would like to see Jonny
grow in his ability to work independently, asking questions and advocating for support once he has already
worked on his own. Finally, we would like to see Jonny grow in his ability to complete multi step directions
comprehensively. Given special education support throughout the next 1-3 years, the team anticipates Jonny’s
academic performance and self esteem will continue to develop.

Current Performance Levels/Measurable Annual Goals

Goal       Specific Goal Focus: Classroom Functioning      
#1
Current Performance Level: What can the student currently do?

Currently, Jonny is on target in his ability to follow one step directions. He is able to
complete his assignments and
assessments with accommodations and some modifications in the required time. Those
accommodations and modifications include graphic organizers, models, rubrics, study guides, word
banks and reference sheets, manipulatives, and written directions to assist him in completing his
assignments. Jonny is given clarification and repetition of information and time to process it. He
receives 1:1 check-ins before beginning in class assignments. When transitioning into a class, Jonny
benefits from having time to refocus himself before giving him a direction. Jonny has shown a need
for support in his executive functioning and working memory as well as in work
initiation/productivity during class time.

When observed in class, Jonny was seen taking breaks, but not excessively. He also
exhibited some hesitation
while using his resources such as a tutor and appeared to be distracted during class time. Providing
Jonny with strategies and tools to aid him when he is unsure of what to do during class time or
unsure of where to jump in on an assignment will help to support him as coursework becomes more
challenging.

Providing organizational support and explicit strategies for approaching coursework will help
Jonny to succeed as
material becomes more challenging.

Measurable Annual Goal: What challenging, yet attainable, goal can we expect the student to
meet by the end of this IEP period? How will we know that the student has reached this goal?
Given explicit instruction, routines, adult support and materials, Jonny will be able to
navigate the classroom
environment, assignments and activities in order to keep himself on track with his coursework with
increased independence on 4 out of 5 opportunities as measured by attempting to use his
strategies.
Benchmark/Objectives: What will the student need to do to complete this goal?
● Given an agenda book, Jonny will note his assigned homework every school day with
increased independence for five consecutive school days.
● Given a written breakdown of the schedule for a class period with step by step task analysis,
Jonny will be able to move from one task to the next with increased independence on 4 out
of 5 opportunities.
● Given explicit instruction and support on how to advocate for his own learning (finding
information, asking for help, and following directions independently) Jonny will be able to
use strategies to help himself get what he needs during class time on 4 out of 5
opportunities.
● Given a list of options and strategies for tough assignments and assessments, Jonny will
engage with a teacher in a 1:1 check in and select the tools which will help him succeed
with increased independence on 4 out 5 opportunities.

Current Performance Level: What can the student currently do?

Currently, Jonny is able to complete writing tasks when given the accommodations of a graphic
organizer, teacher check ins, and visual supports. Jonny works very well in group settings and has
very good oral communication skills during this time. Jonny completes written assignments on time
with about 70% accuracy. Jonny is hesitant to ask for help from the teacher during class time and
the result is that he doesn't check his work for accuracy. He would benefit from peer tutoring with
another student in the class.

During class, Jonny is able to follow oral directions given for completing assignments. He is able to
do his work with a few redirections from the teacher to remind him to stay on task. He is able to
retell directions that were said if asked directly.

Jonny always turns his work in during class time. He has been observed looking out of the window
and asking to get water during silent reading opportunities during a lesson. Sometimes Jonny
needs extra time to complete the reading, but he always gets his work done.

Measurable Annual Goal: What challenging, yet attainable, goal can we expect the student to
meet by the end of this IEP period? How will we know that the student has reached this goal?

    Given a multistep assignment with a completion rubric, written guidelines, additional teacher
support and accommodations, Jonny will be able to independently complete his ELA assignments
with 80% accuracy on 4 out of 5 opportunities.

Benchmark/Objectives: What will the student need to do to complete this goal?

● Given a rubric with visuals, Jonny will review his work for accuracy and completion before
turning it in in 4 out of 5 opportunities.
● During class peer tutoring sessions, Jonny will practice skills for peer-editing in order to
develop his own comfortable strategy for checking his work.
● Given written comprehension tasks, Jonny will use his graphic organizer to organize his
information in order to answer the questions about the reading accurately.
● During a class session, Jonny will stay in his seat when directions are being told in 4 out of 5

Currently Jonny is able to solve single step and multistep word problems that include problems with
whole numbers, fractions, decimals, money, time and geometry. In class Jonny always makes an
effort to complete all his work. He usually will ask for a couple breaks during class when the work
seems to get tough or when there are multiple steps to a problem. Jonny can sometimes rush his
work instead of asking for help because he wants to be independent.

Jonny benefits the most when he is working 1:1 with a teacher or with a strong math partner that
can help him through the steps and check his work.
