6 years - accepted IEP

Here are sections of the actual IEP. Second year of kindergarten. Public school placement.

Necessary accommodations:
  • 1:1 close supervision when navigating multiple flights of stairs due his decreased safety awareness and low muscle tone. This support should be faded as determined by classroom teacher and physical therapist.
  • Initial 1:1 assistance during alternate activities such as physical education, computer, art, music, library, to access the curriculum due to deficits in motor planning skills during whole class activities. This support should be faded as determined by classroom teacher.
  • 1:1 assistance during lunch in the cafeteria to gather his lunch, be directed to a place to eat his lunch with classmates, access all lunch materials, and clean up. This is again due to poor motor planning skills during whole group activities. This support should be faded as determined by classroom teacher.
  • The student will be provided with preferential and supported seating (if necessary) during large and small group times to help maximize his attention to task, while accounting for his low muscle tone.
  • Picture schedules of the entire classroom day and specific activities (bathroom, lunch, hanging up belongings will be used to make the student a more independent preschooler while increasing his understanding of the classroom expectations.
  • First/Then boards will be used to help the student independently make transitions, learn the classroom routine as well as to break down tasks into small steps.
  • Small groups (1-2) of peers with teacher direction will be used to continue to foster his social skills.
  • Language scripts (2-3 word phrases/signs) will be modeled for the student to increase his use of language socially.
  • A visual timer will be used during group and individual activities to gradually increase attention and duration of less desired/more difficult tasks.
  • A total communication approach will be used including ASL signing and spoken language.
  • The following will be used to increase his participation and understanding of the curriculum being introduced: visual supports, extra time for processing language, and repeated instructions.
  • Model appropriate sentence structures.
  • Expand utterances by modeling longer sentence structures.
  • Directly teach vocabulary.
  • Provide models of appropriate social skills. Provide ample opportunities to practice social skills with peers.
  • Use of adult play partners to attract and mediate peer interactions.
  • Frequent scheduled bathroom breaks.

Additional Information
The Team agrees to the use of a daily communication sheet to provide brief updates regarding The STUDENT's daily activities.
The STUDENT will be placed in an inclusion classroom with the support of a full-time special education paraprofessional. The paraprofessional will provide 1:1 support during any writing activity and mathematics instruction, as well as during all transitions outside of his classroom. Para support will be faded as The STUDENT makes progress towards identified benchmarks and in concert with Parent and Team recommendation.
The Team will meet in October to review The STUDENT's progress and transition as well as the trial of an AAC device (Touch Chat, or other augmentative aids).
