OMG
Not sure I've ever seen anything so....sad.
It has a 1 paragraph summary that includes his diagnosis of a head injury, seizure disorder, ADHD, Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD), and possibly ODD. "Family reports bipolar and attachment disorder." And some questions as to Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) or not, with 3 more sentences about the maybe/maybe not diagnosis of Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). Nothing about sensory issues, processing problems, dyslexia...nada. Then 2 pages of an antecedent, behavior, consequence chart that only include observations about the teacher, no times or durations of any behaviors (ps she observed for 2 hours.) NOTHING positive is noted from anyone.
The functions of his behavior take up 4 lines. He avoids classroom tasks. H ehas low frustration level and refuses directives, and he escalates until he receives attention.
And 6 suggestions that take up 3/4 of a page.
1)Visual schedule - with 8 sentences on how to let him pick choices of desired and non-desired activities.
2)Reinforcement - with 3 line about that
3) Consistency with use of the visual schedule - with 4 lines about that
4)non-contingent attention - 3 lines about that
5)pick battles - 4 lines
6)build social skills - with a sentence and a half about this.
Then it says he's fortunate to have good family support.
Wow.
And they paid money for this....
