IEP meeting and re-evaluation
Discussion:
Introduction Discussed the changes next year to the classroom, new teacher. Draven does not do well with change. New teacher will begin the school year with the same routine as Mrs. Besser and as time goes by she will make modifications.
Mrs.. Besser Draven does a good job of attempting to share information. He unintentionally will leave pieces out of a story when he is relaying information. These omissions are not done purposefully, but he may forget the information or may not view it as important.
Strengths
The team is seeing less of Draven’s behavior issues that he exhibited in the past- such as wanting to tickle others, etc. His behavior has improved significantly, …show more content…
To overcome this behavior, staff have found he works best if given options. Draven likes to do well, and works to do well. He likes to follow a specific routine; but can adept if he has a heads up. The only problem with his work is that if he is unable to complete task he becomes agitated. He likes to complete a task before moving on to a different activity. Staff have found that if they make adjustments in their statements by saying like that we will only be doing half the problems, and will complete the rest tomorrow, he will readjust.
He typically moves at a slower rate than his peers. If his pace is addressed, Draven does not speed up but will move slower.
Nancy: she gives Draven his medication everyday. He does well in taking his meds. The nurse does an in-service on the medication and the use of magnet at least annually. Nurse asked if mom wanted to know if his magnet should be left at school over the summer? Mother agreed to leaving one of the magnets at school during the summer. Raquel has a student at Logan with the magnet, so she has had experience using them.

His reading varies day to day. When last measured, his reading level is on the Pre-Kindergarten to grade 1 level. For Draven to retain the information it must be related to something he has prior knowledge. Draven learns best if he has knowledge of the application of the material in a variety of settings.
Mrs. Besser Discussed how Draven works in the class. He follows the steps to completed to do pre-vocational tasks- such as marking things off when they are completed on a sheet, or he will ask for help rather than waiting for someone to ask him why he is not working.
Currently they are working on money skills. He can use his debit card. He carries a wallet always. They are working on Draven’s ability to identify and read the value of the money. Next step is for Draven to tell what the next dollar is up/down. Draven is unable to on his own combine or subtract coins – unless using a calculator.
Draven is working on his writing. Printing letters are difficult for him but he does a nice job and he enjoys working on his penmanship.
Mr. Alexander (counselor) discussed graduation and the sheet he brought to the meeting. Discussed 18.25 completed. He will earn 3.5 the remaining of this year. He is on track for graduation.
