INDIVIDUALIZED EDUCATION PROGRAM: PRESENT LEVEL
OF ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AND FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE
Form I-4 (Rev. 9/13)
Describe the students strengths and the concerns of the parents about the students education.
Rashmi is a nine-year-old girl diagnosed with autism and a significant cognitive delay. She enjoys school and participates
in activities with her peers. She enjoys play as well as attention from staff. Parents report that Rashmi has become close
with her grandfather who lives with the family. Parents are concerned with Rashmis eating challenges and increased
behaviors in the classroom. They hypothesize this due to Dipaks absence due to work and Rashmis grandfather taking
care of all of the children during the morning routine.
Describe the students present level of academic achievement and functional performance including how the
students disability affects his or her involvement and progress in the general education curriculum. For preschool
children, describe how the disability affects involvement in age-appropriate activities. (Note: Present level of
performance must include information that corresponds with each annual goal)
Rashmi receives individualized intervention in Positive Behavior Supports (PBS). At this time, Rashmi engages in
disruptive behaviors, such as crying, screaming, hitting herself on the ears, and biting herself on the hands when
transitioning to the table for group work time. Rashmi is removed from the group, but continues to engage in these
behaviors after removal. Based on the Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA) completed by Josh Baker, Rashmis
behaviors may function to escape group work or to gain access to an item such as food. The behaviors did not occur when
Rashmi was getting attention nor did they serve as automatic reinforcement. In addition, when Rashmi is engaged in these
behaviors, she cannot complete other actions, so Mr. Baker ruled out self-regulation as a function. On 3 out of 4 days,
Rashmi engaged in these behaviors at the start of group work time, and on 1 out of 4 days, she engaged in these behaviors
to access food, as the behaviors started before lunch but did not continue during lunch. Parents report eating is difficult for
Rashmi and typically takes a long duration to complete. With Rashmis father traveling for work, Rashmis grandfather,
Sagar Shetty, has taken on the role of getting all 4 children ready for school in the morning. Without attending to Rashmi
during mealtimes, she typically eats less food, which may cause her to become hungry earlier.
Will the student be involved full-time in the general education curriculum or, for preschoolers, in age-appropriate
activities? Yes No
(If no, describe the extent to which the student will not be involved full-time in the general curriculum or, for
preschoolers, in age-appropriate activities)
Rashmis schedule consists of a combination of academic work in the CID classroom and other school activities. She will
also have reverse mainstreaming opportunities for socialization purposes. Rashmis cognitive communication, sensory,
and motor skills differ significantly from her peers and she needs small group and 1:1 assistance to make progress on her
goals.
SPECIAL FACTORS After consideration for special factors (behavior, limited English proficiency, Braille needs,
communication needs including deaf/hard of hearing, and assistive technology), is there a need in any of the areas?
X Yes No (If yes or student has a visual impairment, attach I-5, Special Factors page)

location, and duration) on the Program Summary page (I-9).
A. Does the students behavior impede his/her learning or that of others? X Yes No
(If yes, include the positive behavioral interventions, strategies, and supports to address that behavior)
C. If visually impaired, does the student need instruction in Braille or the use of Braille?
Yes No X Not Applicable
(If yes, include Braille needs; if no or cannot be determined, attach ER-3, Determining Braille Needs from the
latest evaluation/reevaluation)
D. Does the student have communication needs that could impede his/her learning? X Yes No
(If yes, include communication needs)
{If yes and the student is deaf or hard of hearing, identify the communication needs including (a) the students language; (b)
opportunities for direct communication with peers and professional personnel in the students language and communication mode;
and, (c) academic level and full range of needs including opportunities for direct instruction in the students language and
communicative mode}:
Rashmi does not engage in verbal speech and uses a picture board to communicate to access her basic needs,
which negatively impacts her ability to communicate her thoughts, feelings, and desires.
Rashmi requires low-tech picture symbols for communication, as well as to create a visual schedule. During
instruction, she may utilize an electronic whiteboard, computer, and tablet to complete academic tasks and to aid in
communication when she is not able to effectively communicate verbally.

Behavior Intervention Plan
Proactive Strategies:
Strategies and environmental adjustments that will be used to increase positive behaviors/interactions
include keeping the environment as calm as possible. This includes removing Rashmi from the group
environment. Staff should keep demands and language short, clear, and should be consistent among staff.
Staff should use visuals, such as a visual duration map to make expectations clear. Rashmi should be
reinforced for positive behaviors using a token system. A snack time should be incorporated to aid in
regulation.
Rashmi will functional communication to inform staff if she needs an item or a break.
Rashmi will use her communication book/device to communicate her wants, needs, or a break to staff
rather than engaging in challenging behaviors.
Implementation Considerations
Staff will model functional language; as well as utilize visuals to offer choice and set clear expectations
(visual duration maps). Staff in the special education room will work to encourage generalization across
settings. These will be implemented during the duration of the IEP and be monitored by the special
education teacher and IEP team.
Progress monitoring will take place as behaviors occur and weekly for collaboration among staff and the
team will meet to evaluate progress at Rashmis annual IEP meeting.
I chose Rashmi due to her diagnosis of autism and her placement in a self-contained special education
classroom. This case study only included information about Rashmis behaviors and their functions. It did
not include any academic data. Based on the mention of a self-contained classroom, I could infer that
Rashmi would require minutes in all other academic areas besides emotional, social, or behavioral. Due to
the academic information being absent from the case study, I chose goals that I believed a fourth grader
would likely be targeting. I would have liked to read more academic information about Rashmi to better
choose goals to fit her specific needs, such as a test of academics or curriculum based assessments.
Based on Rashmis behavioral needs, I included a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) in her IEP. It is
necessary for the team to have training on her BIP plan and positive behavioral supports to ensure
consistency when managing Rashmis behaviors and to consistently strive towards the overall goal of
independent functional communication. In addition, the team must have training on how to prompt
functional communication to aid Rashmis independence in this skill. I also included adding a snack in
her BIP due to access of food (hunger) was a function of Rashmis behaviors. I would also like to read
more information about what proactive strategies are used with Rashmi to set her up for success during
times of increased behaviors, although I provided some basic strategies in the BIP.
Due to the limited academic information provided in the case study, I made many inferences on what a
fourth grade student may be working on based on cues about her level of functioning. I chose goals that
would be applicable to Rashmis level of need at her age level. Throughout the IEP, I focused on
Rashmis behavioral and communication needs based on the information provided. I believe that with
functional communication training and consistent proactive strategies, Rashmis behaviors will likely
decrease in the self-contained classroom.
