Strengths
Some of Jon's strength's include the following:
*Significant improvements in his communication skills; can be understood by others
*Able to calm himself when given the ability to do so
Academic,developmental,andfunctionalneedsrelatedtostudent'sdisability
Jon's results of the reevaluation indicate that he continues to present with persistent problems in the following areas: concentration, attention,
aggression, impulsive behavior. These internal and external behavioral issues negatively influence his academic abilities and access to the
general education curriculum. He will continue to have a behavioral plan, and potentially begin to self-monitor his actions and behaviors
daily. He demonstrates a need for specially designed instruction (SDI) as he transitions to 8th grade. Secondly, he will benefit from assistive
technology. This will be an iPad to support him through writing, and other subject-related tasks. He will use the Word prediction and other
applications that may be decided as providing the best outcome.
