General Classroom Performance Based On Current IEP Goals: Cognitive: Chani demonstrates weaknesses in her verbal and nonverbal skills. In verbal areas, she had difficulty labeling items, displays a weak knowledge of words, as well as a short term memory for sentences. In nonverbal areas she has difficulty understanding quantitative concepts such as more/less. She also has difficulty completing a puzzle and has poor problem solving skills. Chani has difficulty maintaining attention during teacher guided activities, as she cannot sit and attend for a significant amount of time. She cannot follow or complete an ABAB pattern. Chani has recently begun to attend and remain on task for a slightly more considerable amount of time, however only when in a group setting. She can identify basic shapes and count from 1-10, but is not consistent with it. She can also identify some letters of the alphabet. Chani learns best during group activities as opposed to 1:1, but requires lots of prompting and direct guidance. Speech and language: Chani presents with delays in both receptive and expressive language. She has difficulty answering wh interrogatives, understanding commands involving spatial concepts as well as pronouns and possessives. In addition, she has difficulty maintaining a conversation for more than three exchanges. Chani remains quiet during circle/lesson time, but does not pay attention to the lesson, as she is unable to retell the main idea of the lesson when prompted. She can communicate her wants and needs effectively. She has also made some improvement in following commands to complete a project.

Self-help skills: Chani presents with age appropriate self-help skills. Social/emotional: Chani has made significant progress in this domain. She initially presented some social awkwardness which her peers picked up on. She does, at times, get mildly aggressive with peers, however for the most part she interacts and gets along nicely. She has made some improvement at staying with an activity of choice during play time; however improvement in this area is still necessary. Chani needs to be reminded about maintaining personal space between teachers and peers. Gross/fine motor domain: Chani has a poor grasp on writing utensils. She has difficulty shading in pictures completely and when told to draw something she will only write a line. She has recently begun to imitate a circle. She does not fully understand the concept of cutting out specific shapes or drawings, as she displays extremely poor cutting skills. Chani requires lots of practice and repetition of required skills to improve her fine motor skills. Teacher/Parent Interview: Chanis teachers are truly amazed at the progress shes made thus far. She is beginning to participate better and act more age appropriately among her peers. She has learned much through the direct instruction she has been receiving, as well as through observing and imitating her peers. She can now join in an activity and stay with it for a more significant amount of time, yet improvement is still needed. In addition, she is well liked and gets along nicely with her classmates. With continued help and guidance, Chani will continue to improve, as progress is seen daily. Concerns (if applicable): Chani demonstrates difficulty in a wide range of academic skills. She cannot attend and participate for an appropriate amount of time, particularly in 1:1 settings. She has difficulty answering general wh questions, as well as questions pertaining to a lesson taught. She requires lots of prompts to remain focused on specific fine motor exercises and activities. She cannot follow or complete an ABAB pattern and has difficulty understanding the main idea a story. Signature of Provider: Chavi Rottenberg Date: 1/13/12
