Introduction:
Jordan is a five-year-old boy in Kindergarten. A few weeks into the school year, Jordan was diagnosed
with Autism and was placed in an Autism Unit Classroom with a total of ten other students. All of the
students in this classroom have some form of Autism. At this time, Jordan is non verbal. He is learning
to use a communication app on his iPad to communicate with the teacher and others around him. He
struggles with social skills and fine motor skills.
questions, or have any comments. He is not able to verbalize letter sounds or words.
Mathematics: Jordan is able to verbally count to the number 7 with no assistance and count to 15 with
some assistance. Jordan has no understanding of number concepts, sorting, matching quantities, or
identifying word problems. He is able to name and match objects by color and shape. Jordan is unable
to create patterns using different shapes.
Communication: Jordan is nonverbal and is currently being taught how to communicate through an app
on his pad. Jordan is able to repeat simple words that have been spoken to him but he never speaks on
his own. Because he is non verbal at this time, he his expressive language is not at Kindergarten level.

taking his backpack and jacket off every morning at school. Jordan is able to use the bathroom by
himself but needs assistance when washing his hands. He can get dressed with little to no assistance.
He cannot, however, tie his shoes or zip up his jacket.
How the student’s disability affect involvement in the general education curriculum:
There is not a significant difference between his functional performance and his chronological age.
Jordan is not too far behind his typically developing peers. The support and services given in this
document will be beneficial and help close the small gap.
Strengths:
- Jordan can go to the bathroom and eat independently.
- Jordan can jump well.
- Jordan is helpful around the classroom and enjoys helping the teacher.
- Jordan loves to listen to music and is usually more engaged in classroom activities when they have to
do with music or dancing.
Cognitive (Literacy):
Jordan is unable to recite the alphabet. He is unable to identify all of the letters in the alphabet with
accuracy. The skill of identifying letters is the most basic prerequisite skill of reading.
Communication:
Jordan is currently nonverbal. This inhibits most of his academic, developmental, and adaptive skills.
He uses the app on his ipad to communicate but just began learning how to use it. Jordan is unable to
create peer friendships because of his communication needs.
Physical Development:
Jordan is unable to write his name or any letters of the alphabet.He does not know how to properly
hold a pencil. This skill is something he must learn in the writing process.
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.

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.
It is the responsibility of each public agency to ensure that, to the maximum extent appropriate, students with disabilities, including those in public
or private institutions or other care facilities, are educated with students who are not disabled. Special classes, separate schooling or other removal
of students with disabilities from the general educational environment occurs only when the nature or severity of the disability is such that education
in general education classes, EVEN WITH the use of supplementary aids and services, cannot be achieved satisfactorily.
What supplementary aids and services were considered? What supplementary aids and services were rejected? Explain why the supplementary
aids and services will or will not enable the student to make progress on the goals and objectives (if applicable) in this IEP in the general
education class.
What benefits are provided in the general education class with supplementary aids and services versus the benefits provided in the special
education class?
What potentially beneficial effects and/or harmful effects might be expected on the student with disabilities or the other students in the
class, even with supplementary aids and services?
To what extent, if any, will the student participate with nondisabled peers in extracurricular activities or other nonacademic activities?
Explanation of the extent, if any, to which the student will not participate with students without disabilities in the regular education class:
Jordan is performing below grade level. Functionally and academically he needs extensive help. Jordan
will spend 10% of the day with students without disabilities. Jordan will spend a total of an hour and a
half outside of the classroom. This time will be spent in the Speech therapist’s office/classroom.
Jordan will work on his social skills within the special education classroom with the special education
teacher.
Explanation of the extent, if any, to which the student will not participate with students without disabilities in the general education curriculum:
Jordan does not function at his grade level and will not be participating in the general education
curriculum at all. He is learning to function well with his peers who are all on the autism spectrum at
different levels in his special education classroom (Autism Unit).
B. Type of Support
Itinerant: Special education supports and services provided by special education personnel for 20% or less of the school day

Appendix A
Teacher Interview
Environment: Urban
Parents/Guardians: Mom and dad are married. Mom does not work and Dad works for the Steel Mill.
Current Grades in School: N/A (The students in the Autism Unit do not have official grades)
Reading: He is non-verbal. Is very rarely interested in listening to books being read aloud. Cannot read.
Spelling: He can identify more than half of the letters of the alphabet when prompted. He cannot recite/sing
the alphabet in order.
Writing: Jordan does not know the correct way to hold a writing utensil. He cannot write the letters of the alphabet. He does not know how to
mmm write his name. He cannot color in between lines.
Math: He is able to count to seven and can identify isolated numbers from 1 to 15. He can
identify and match shapes when prompted by the teacher.
Academic Strengths: He becomes extremely engaged when the content being presented is in the form of a song. He will also pay attention to videos
on his iPad.
Academic Areas for Improvement: Non-verbal, needs to learn how to use communication technology on his iPad. Jordan needs countless verbal
prompts. He needs to learn how to use visual schedules for completing tasks.
Behavioral Strengths: Jordan is very loving and can be affectionate when he wants to be. He enjoys holding hands with adults.
Behavioral Areas for Improvement: Jordan will pout and hit his desk when he does not get what he wants. This becomes a constant problem with his
iPad. He will refuse to do anything if it is taken away. Sometimes he exits his work or communication app on his iPad to play games when he is not
supposed to.
Describe the level of independent functional skills: He can dress himself in the morning but cannot take his jacket or backpack off. He cannot tie
shoes or use zippers. He is able to use the toilet independently but cannot wash his hands properly.
Describe social skills and relationships with peers: Jordan does not have any form of relationship with his classmates. He does not socialize unless his
classmates come to him first, in which case he will interact 10% of the time this happens. He will participate in independent play but does not ever
play with his peers.
Describe organization and decision-making skills: When he wants something, he will point at what it is he wants. He is learning to use the
communication app on his iPad.

Goals or aspirations the parents have for their child for this school year: His parents would like Jordan to be able to express how he is feeling using
his communication app on his iPad or through sign. They would also like him to learn how to interact with others and make at least one friend in his
class.
What are some of the challenges that you face on a daily basis with this student? Jordan has a very short attention span and it is very difficult for him
to complete any sort of task without constant prompting from the teacher. This is also due to his lack of communication. He throws a fit on a daily
basis when his iPad is taken away during specific classes. He will hit the desk and become very pouty. Sometimes he will try and sneak the iPad from
the teacher’s desk.
2. Record information on the student’s current level of performance as it related to their grades, goals, and current level of development.
○ Can identify almost every letter of the alphabet
○ Can count to 7 on his own, and up to 15 with verbal prompts
○ He does not know how to properly hold a writing utensil
○ He cannot write letters, numbers, or shapes
○ Currently nonverbal
3. Does the student receive any accommodations or modifications in the classroom or during assessments?
○ He is currently learning how to use a communication app on his iPad because he is nonverbal. He also practices his letters and sounds
on the iPad during half of reading class.
4. How much of the school day does the student spend in the general education environment per the IEP?
He does not spend time in the general education classroom.
5. Does the student have a completed FBA, BIP, or another behavior-specific plan?
○ He does not have an FBA, BIP, or another behavior specific plan
6. After reviewing the information, what was most helpful and interesting? What impact, guidance, or influence does it have on your chaining
project?
It is very interesting observing a student begin learning how to use a communication app on the iPad. The special education teachers did not
seem to be familiar with this before and it is interesting watching them figure it out and help the student. The fact that he is learning how to
communicate affects all parts of his academic and functionality throughout the day as well.
7. What additional information would you be interested in obtaining?
I would like to see how well he performs and functions once he is comfortable and better equipped with using the communication app
on his iPad.
