7 years - accepted IEP (transition to first grade)

Here are sections of the actual IEP - 7 years old (transition to first grade)

Necessary accommodations:


The following accommodations are necessary for The Student to make effective progress in the general curriculum.
·         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 student while increasing his understanding of the classroom expectations.
·         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.
·         The following will be used to increase his participation and understanding of the curriculum being introduced: visual supports, extra time for processing language, and clarifying 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.
·         During lunch in the cafeteria The Student will require 1: 1 assistance 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.
·         Frequent scheduled bathroom breaks.
·         Provide The Student with support during classroom assignments and tests by reading questions aloud, prompting him to slow down, and reminding him of strategies to solve as needed.
·         The Student will be placed in an inclusion classroom with the support of a full-time special education paraprofessional. The paraprofessional will provide no more than 1:2 support during any academic instruction. Para support will be faded as The Student makes progress towards identified benchmarks and in concert with Parent and Team recommendation.

Goal #1 Speech and Language


Current Performance Level: What can the student currently do? The Student is independently generating 2-4 word phrases and sentences ("I am making...," "I'm making..." and "You're making...") and is using s' for regular plural In order to learn to use articles, The Student participated in structured tasks in which he used written support to respond to the questions, "What do you see?" and "What do you hear?" His responses comprise full sentences, using the articles "a" or "the" (i.e. "I see a..." and "I hear a ..."). The Student has acquired this grammatical skill, using it in response to questions and during conversation. Moreover, he is using articles in various types of sentences including declarative and interrogative (i.e. "No, it's not a dog." "Can I have a...?" "I need a..."). In structured tasks, The Student is able to accurately use subjective pronouns.

Measurable Annual Goal: What challenging, yet attainable, goal can we expect the student to meet by the end ofthis IEP period? How will we know that the student has reached this goal? The Student will improve his receptive and expressive language skills to support functional communication within academic and social contexts in 70% of opportunities given 0-3 cues, as measured by an SLP.
Benchmark/Objectives: What will the student need to do to complete this goal

  •         With 70% accuracy given 0-3 cues during structured activities, The Student will identify and use the following concepts-next to, near, far, top, bottom, first, middle, and last.

Goal 2:  Speech and Language


Current Performance Level: What can the student currently do? With his paraprofessional, The Student is using schedule for the purpose talking about his day with his parents. He builds it with prompts ("What did you do next?). In his retell, he reads the words using first-then language. With peers, The Student takes turns when playing games, requiring no visual aids or prompts. He requires full support to ask questions of others.

Goal 7: Mathematics 

 


Current Performance Level: What can the student currently do? The Student is a sweet boy who participates in our small group with enthusiasm. At times, The Student requires redirection to follow directions or keep objects (manipulatives, writing implements) out of his mouth, but he responds positively to teacher cues. To date we have worked on identifying, ordering, and counting numbers 0-20 in sequence, 1: 1 correspondence (with both manipulation of physical objects, and static finger pointing/counting), more/fewer concepts, and writing numerals. The Student has strength in his ability to identify numbers 0-20. Further he is able to write numbers 0-20 that have been dictated to him with approximately 70% accuracy when models are provided. Numbers in the teens as well as 20, are newer concepts, and are still being developed. The Student has made recent gains in his ability to static count 0-20 with 1: 1 correspondence. On 10/20/14, The Student was able to count 0-10 (using physical manipulatives) with 80% accuracy, but count static objects with >50% accuracy. On 1/29/15, The Student counted 0-20 (static counting) with 80% accuracy. The Student is still developing his understanding of his more or fewer, and is using ten frames, number lines, and hundreds charts to build these concepts. As we continue we will work more on these concepts, as well as continued counting skills, and the development of addition strategies.
