Signature of Parent/Guardian/Surrogate:
I understand that the school may charge the School-Based Access Program (“SBAP”)—or any program that replaces or supplements the SBAP—the cost of certain
special education and related services described in my child’s IEP. To make these charges to the SBAP, the school will release to the administrator of that
program the name, age, and address of my child, verification of Medicaid eligibility for my child, a copy of my child’s IEP, a description of the services
provided and the times and dates during which such services were provided to my child, and the identity of the provider of such services. I understand that
such information will not be disclosed, and such charges will not be made, unless I consent to the disclosure. I acknowledge that I have provided written
consent to disclose such information.
I understand that my consent is ongoing from year-to-year unless and until I withdraw it. I can withdraw my consent in writing, or orally if I am unable to
write, at any time. My refusal to consent or my withdrawal of consent will not relieve the school of the obligation to provide, at no cost to me or my family,
any service or program to which my child is entitled under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (“IDEA”) or that is necessary to enable my child to
receive a free appropriate public education as described in my child’s IEP.
Require me or my family to sign up for or enroll in any public benefits or insurance program, such as Medicaid, as a condition of receiving a free appropriate
public education for my child;
Require me or my family to incur any expense for the provision of a free appropriate public education to my child, including co-payments and deductibles,
unless it agrees to pay such expenses on my or my family’s behalf;
Cause me or my family to pay for services that would otherwise be covered by a public benefits or insurance program and that are required for my child
outside the time that he or she is in school;
Risk the loss of eligibility for home and community-based waivers, based on aggregate health-related expenditures.

X No
No
X No
X No
Does the student exhibit behaviors that impede his/her learning or that of others?
X Yes The IEP team must develop a Positive Behavior Support Plan that is based on a functional assessment of behavior and that
utilizes positive behavior techniques. Results of the functional assessment of behavior may be listed in the Present Levels
section of the IEP with a clear measurable plan to address the behavior in the Goals and Specially Designed Instruction
sections of the IEP or in the Positive Behavior Support Plan if this is a separate document that is attached to the IEP. A
Positive Behavior Support Plan and a Functional Behavioral Assessment form are available at www.pattan.net

Other (specify):
N/A
o Behavior
Bo’s behavior in class often gets him into trouble. He does not listen well when
it comes to specific instructions given to him by the teachers in the class and
often does the opposite of what he is told to do.
His attention span is also a limiting factor that restricts Bo from improving in all
areas of schooling. He struggles to sit still for more then 5 minutes and often
distracts his peers and gets off task completely.
Bo does excel when he is presented with a reward or works one on one with the
teacher. He responded well to attention and can stay on task if given enough
attention. He also loves to help out with jobs around the classroom and is very
eager to jump in and help.
o Communication
In receptive language he scored a total of 63 out of 102 putting him in the 12 th
percentile. He was able to correctly identify 19 out of 26 pictures when
presented and was also familiar with body parts; being able to identify 18 out of
23 body parts when asked. He was familiar with verbal concepts as well and
could follow simple one, two, and three step directions but he does sometimes
struggle with these directions when not in a one-on-one setting.
In expressive language, Bo scored 58 total points out of 128 which put him in
the tenth percentile and the instructional range of a 2-year 8-month year old.
He is able to point to something he wants and can nod his head yes and no. He
did not, however, pretend talk, repeat phrases, or use words in combination.
His speech is often not understandable, and he also does not say real words. He
struggled with being able to repeat sentences longer than four syllables. About
25% of what Bo says is intelligible.
The struggles Bo has with communication create behavioral and academic issues
in the classroom. Having other students as well as teachers not understand
what he wants puts him at a disadvantage.
o Social Skills:
Bo’s Social skills are among the higher achieved domains he scored in. With his
interpersonal scores he scored a total score of 7 out of 21 which placed him in
the 21st percentile. Bo does show affection and responded well to praise and
rewards. For the most part, he does seek help from an adult when he cannot do
something and also likes to talk about himself. His interactions with adults are
not always respectful and, as previously stated, he struggles with listening to
directions. When it comes to peer interactions Bo is able to make friends and
find playmates. Where he struggles is being able to keep these friends
throughout the whole game or activity without getting into an argument with
them. This however is typical for kids of his age.
Bo’s self-regulatory skills were scored at an 8 out of 29 which put him in the 25 th
percentile. He is able to recognize good and bad behavior in himself as well as
in his peers. Whether he follows that recognition varies among instances. He is
usually somewhat interested in small group activities, as he excels in small
group or one-on-one situations. He is also very helpful in the classroom and is
willing to clean up and do simple tasks in class.
o Adaptive Skills:
Bo’s adaptive behavior skills scored a 27 out of 48 which placed him in the 13 th
percentile and in the 2-year 6-month instructional age. He is competent when
it comes to eating and occasionally makes a mess just as much as any typical
pre-school student. Bo is able to ask for food when he is hungry and cleans up
after himself. He is able to put his jacket on as well as his shoes. Bo knows to
wash his hands and flush the toilet but does need help to wipe himself in the
bathroom. Like other preschoolers, he does have the occasional accident but
for the most part he is able to use the restroom when needed. His personal
information is one aspect Bo does not know besides his first name.
How the student’s disability affects involvement and progress in the general education
curriculum
o Bo’s lack of attention span in class causes him to do whatever he wants during
instruction. This limits Bo’s ability to listen and absorb instruction which effects many
areas of his education.
o Bo struggles with following specific directions given to him in a whole group instruction.
He will often do the opposite of whatever is asked of him which not only gets him off
task but hinders his ability to get instruction and work on whatever activity is at hand.
o Bo’s lack and sometimes inability to communicate puts him at disadvantage among his
peers. He often struggles to communicate what he wants and why he wants it which
restricts him from creating friendships and staying out of trouble.
Strengths
o Bo has many strengths that have been determined through testing as well as in class
observation.
o Bo’s social and emotional development is one of these strengths. He does very well in
any one-on-one setting. This setting eliminates distractions, gives him attention, and
allows for him to be focused on the instruction. He also responds well to praise and is
very motivated by it as well as physical rewards. He recognizes good and bad behavior
in himself as well as his peers.
o One of the greatest strengths Bo has is his willingness to help. He loves to help out in
the classroom in any way he can which often is followed by praise which motivates Bo
and gives him confidence.
o Bo also does well when it comes to daily living skills. He is able to eat well without
making a mess and cleans up after himself for the most part. He is also able to dress
himself and use the bathroom in an appropriate way in which he remembers the steps
to using the restroom. Having this skillset will allow Bo to become more independent
and motivated to learn on his own which will greatly help him as he moves out of pre-
school.
III. TRANSITION SERVICES – This is required for students age 14 or younger if determined appropriate by the IEP team. If the student does not attend the
IEP meeting, the school must take other steps to ensure that the student’s preferences and interests are considered. Transition services are a coordinated
set of activities for a student with a disability that is designed to be within a results oriented process, that is focused on improving the academic and
functional achievement of the student with a disability to facilitate the student’s movement from school to post school activities, including postsecondary
education, vocational education, integrated employment (including supported employment), continuing and adult education, adult services, independent
living, or community participation that is based on the individual student’s needs taking into account the student’s strengths, preferences, and interests.
POST SCHOOL GOALS – Based on age appropriate assessment, define and project the appropriate measurable postsecondary goals that address education
and training, employment, and as needed, independent living. Under each area, list the services/activities and courses of study that support that goal.
Include for each service/activity the location, frequency, projected beginning date, anticipated duration, and person/agency responsible.

Bo needs to be in school for the entirety of the year because he is behind his fellow peers in almost every academic, social,
emotional, and physical domain. If he is not in school and misses 3 months of instruction this gap will become larger and effect Bo’s
ability to move on to kindergarten. Three specific goals are set for Bo that he needs help and that he can work on throughout the
entire year. These three include academic, motor skills and communication needs. Bo needs continued help in learning his letters,
numbers, and colors. He needs help improving his communication and attention span. And most importantly he needs help
developing his fine motor skills. Without these services, Bo is at risk for falling behind even more and entering kindergarten late.

VII. EDUCATIONAL PLACEMENT
A. QUESTIONS FOR IEP TEAM – The following questions must be reviewed and discussed by the IEP team prior to providing the explanations regarding
participation with students without disabilities.
Explanation of the extent, if any, to which the student will not participate with students without disabilities in the regular education class:
The extent to which this student is to be taken out of the general education classroom only involves
one-on-one instruction. This one-on-one instruction will be daily with a tutor or the paraeducator as
well as weekly speech therapy. Sessions will last no more then an hour.
Explanation of the extent, if any, to which the student will not participate with students without disabilities in the general education curriculum:
Bo will be given three specific aids that will help him succeed as well as allow the special education
teacher to respond. These involve being given the opportunity to respond during read aloud, reflecting
with the general education teacher about the day, and being given visual prompts as to what the
correct behavior is during large group instruction. These aids, along with daily one-on-one instruction
and speech therapy are the extra help Bo will receive to succeed in and out of the classroom.
