Mircea is a 4-year-old boy from Romania who was recently enrolled in pre-K. His teacher noticed he did not line up with the other students and had difficulties with eye contact, interaction, and behavior. He came from Romania with his family and had no prior educational experience. An evaluation found low scores in social domains and he was placed in an autism classroom. His mother had concerns about his behaviors and language skills declining. A new thorough evaluation determined he had mild intellectual disabilities, not autism. An IFSP meeting was held with an interpreter and team to develop a new educational plan focusing on an inclusive pre-K setting, behavior support, collaboration between teachers and parents, and language support.
