The Case Study Scenario
This scenario will revolve around Pete Parkson, a young 2nd grader that has transferred to Hope Primary Elementary School with his parent’s relocation to the area for personal reasons. Pete has Auditory Processing Disorder, or APD, and will need to have an IEP made for him. Luckily, his parents had managed to slide their move into the school semester and they have arrived in the middle of summer vacation to make the initial transition easier for Pete. The school staff, together with his parents, will have to work together to provide Pete an acceptable means of keeping with his old school’s development.

During this meeting the teacher and special educator will go over the consultation held with the parents. They will cover former techniques used for Pete’s development, his mother’s concerns and initiate group brainstorming regarding how they might offer similar development progress to ease the parent’s concerns. The teacher and special educator will keep the other teachers and important staff informed on their findings, and what needs to be kept in mind for APD.
For the scenario, one of the teacher’s will bring up the idea of Earobics (Fey, Richard, Geffner, Kamhi, & Medwetsky, 2011). It’s a similar program to Fast ForWord that allows for a cheaper alternative that can be provided for Pete. In addition, another teacher asks if the former school IEPs had made the student too dependent on the program to develop, pointing out that the hard focus on its utility might stunt Pete’s growth in the future. The teacher brings up the idea of making the Earobics idea into something that encourages more self-management and monitoring so that Pete can develop more skills than just language and speech recognition. It is mutually agreed that this would be better for Pete all around. The meeting comes to the idea of a semi-off hand self-regulation of Earobics use based off Pete earning a reward every week for practicing and recording his play time, which will be decided and checked by his
