II. PRESENT LEVELS OF ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AND FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE

 Present Level of Academic Achievement

o Michael is a student in pre-kindergarten whose chronological age is five years and six months. Results from the standardized
Brigance Inventory of Early Development III show Michael’s Academic/Cognitive scores are equivalent to the chronological age of
four years and six months. When completing the literacy portions, his raw score was a 94 and his composite score was an 85. This
score placed Michael in the 16th percentile. Michael seemed very experienced with books and texts, was able to effectively
identify uppercase letters, showed age appropriate phonological awareness, and additionally scored well on auditory
discrimination. However, his word recognition, reading words from common signs, phoneme manipulation, and recitation of the
alphabet were all low. In regards to mathematics, Michael’s raw score was a 45 with his composite score being an 85. This placed
him again in the 16th percentile. When asked to compare different amounts or sort a variety of objects, Michael scored very well.
Michael is able to count by rote number up to the number 13 consistently. When asked to add or subtract numbers, Michael did
not earn any points in either section. Additionally, he struggled to read numerals, solve word problems, and find the missing
number in sequences.

 Present Level of Functional Development

o Michael’s overall developmental score showed his chronological age equivalent to be five years and zero months. This places his
instructional range at four years and eleven months to five years and one month.
o Behavior
 Michael is a quiet but calming presence in the classroom. He frequently follows directions the first time he is asked, and
quietly encourages his peers to do so as well. When lining up, he always lines up with a finger on his lips, a bubble in his
mouth, and one hand in the air – this is the hallway procedure for the school he attends. Michael is a leader inside and
outside of the classroom.
 Michael is very caring and compassionate to his fellow students. He frequently checks in with his peers to ensure they are
happy and on task. When another classmate is upset, Michael is typically the first student there to make sure they are
okay.
o Communication
 In preschool, Michael had an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) for communication. When he first began preschool at Help
Me Grow he was nonverbal. Now, Michael is able to communicate with his peers and teachers to a much more significant
degree. When he gives one-word answers he is clearly understood. When Michael tries to form fully sentences, sometimes
he is harder to understand, especially when he is excited. His communication can sometimes be a barrier for him, which
frustrates him. When he is angry, he has difficulty verbalizing his feelings.
o Social Skills
 In regards to social and emotional development, Michael ranked in the 93 rd percentile overall. For interpersonal
development his raw score is a 21 while his composite score is a 123. His chronological age equivalent for this is seven
years and three months. For self-regulatory development, Michael’s raw score is 28 while his composite score is 115. This
places him in the 84th percentile with a chronological age equivalent of six years and nine months.
 Michael is a very social student, always checking in with those around him. He always has a smile on his face and wants to
keep his teachers and his classmates happy.
o Adaptive Skills
 Michael’s adaptive behavior skills scored in the 31st percentile. His chronological age equivalent is five years and three

months, just slightly below where he should be scoring. In terms of eating, he is able to feed himself, use a utensil
correctly and only spills minimally. He also scored well at dressing/undressing, toileting, and bathing. In terms of personal
information, Michael confidently said his first and last name and his age. He was unable to answer questions regarding his
birthday, phone number, or address.

 Parental Concerns for Enhancing the Education of the Student

o Michael’s parents have expressed concerns in the past regarding his communication and speech. However, they agree that he has
come a long way. They also expressed concerns regarding his emotional development. He has a younger brother with more
severe disabilities who had frequent and disruptive outburst. Parents are worried that because of this Michael internalizes his
feelings and only expresses his emotions inwardly.

 How the Student’s Disability Affects Involvement and Progress in the General Education Curriculum
o Michael’s communicative disability sometimes limits his engagement with same aged peers in the general education setting. He
leaves the classroom for speech therapy once a week for around 30 minutes. Otherwise, Michael receives all of his instruction in
the general education inclusive classroom.
o Cognitively, Michael is behind his peers in terms of literacy and mathematics. In particular, this shows that he may not be on
track to enter into Kindergarten in the fall semester.

 Strengths (per information above):

1. Michael’s social and emotional development in terms of interpersonal relations was very high for his age. He scored in the 94th
percentile, which greatly exceeded his expected results. The chronological age equivalent of his scores is seven years and six
months. He shows exceptional relationships with adults and also with his peers. He forms solid relationships with peers and
engages in active play.
2. Another one of Michael’s strengths is in his gross motor development. In this category, Michael scored in the 89 th percentile,
above his expected age equivalent. In this section, Michael had a lot of fun balancing and walking, skipping, and galloping down
the hallway. He additionally enjoyed interacting with the ball.
3. A third strength for Michael is his self-regulatory skills. In this category, he scored in the 84th percentile. The chronological age
equivalent of this is seven years and three months. Michael had advanced motivation and self-confidence. He is always eager to
learn, and remains engaged throughout lessons and activities. Additionally, Michael shows great use of pro-social skills and other
behavioral development.

 Areas for Improvement (per information above):

1. Language Development - Receptive. As indicated by the language development portion of the Brigance, Michael’s receptive
language is equivalent for the chronological age of four years and three months. He only scored in the 14 th percentile in this
section. While he showed many correct early receptive language skills and identified most pictures and parts of the body for the
receptive sections, he did miss a few parts in each section. The biggest section he missed points on was understanding verbal
concepts.
2. Academic/Cognitive Mathematics. Results from the Brigance indicate that Michael scored the age equivalent of four years and
five months in terms of mathematics. This placed Michael in the 16 th percentile. Michael scored well in terms of comparing
different amounts, and sorting objects by different criteria. However, Michael did not score any points when adding or
subtracting. The biggest concern is that Michael is only able to count to 13 by rote memorization and he can only consistently
match quantities with numerals up to 5. This sets him behind his peers developmentally.

3. Academic/Cognitive Literacy. Results from the literacy portion of the Brigance indicate that Michael scored the equivalent of a
student who is four years and six months old. This puts him in the 16 th percentile. Michael scored well on the sections related to
experience with books and text, phonological awareness, and auditory discrimination. Some areas for improvement for Michael
include sections related to phoneme manipulation, reading words from common signs, and word recognition. However, the
greatest point of concern is that Michael was only able to recite the first three letters of the alphabet. This puts him
academically behind his peers, and does not set him up to be able to read and write.
