Scott Smith Assessment and Recommendations
Summary:
In 100-200 words, summarize the psychological report. Include specific data and
observation information that will help guide Scott’s educational goals.
Scott, who is six years old, is in the first grade. The parents and teachers referred him
to have behavioral concerns for aggression, atypical behavior, hyperactivity, and failing
to follow instruct ions or even engage in the writ ing act ivit ies while he is in class. The
mother stated that Scott was born after a typical 40-weeks pregnancy and that he
did not develop any problems of concern. The developmental milestones of children
were reached and attained within the normal range if gross language and motor;
although he has poor coordination of the fine motors.
Scott 's parents consider his behavior while at home as compliant and quiet. On the
other hand, teachers describe him as aggressive and non-compliant. They also add
that he is in level with his peers. However, they st ill consider it challenging to gauge
him against the rest of his peers due to his non-compliance behavior. Usually, Scott
prefers being in alone act ivit ies, he stares off, while at the same t ime experiencing
frequent mood swings. His non-compliant behavior is exhibited during writ ing or
events that Scott does not like.
During the tests, there were frequent cases of complaints on fat igues on hands,
demonstrat ion of sensit ivity to mult i-sensory processing, auditory processing
vestibular processing, oral processing, and engaging in the behavior of sensory
seeking. Generally, all these issues were assumed to be interfering with Scott’s class
part icipation.

After formal assessments for determining eligibility under IDEA’s 13.docxAMMY30
After formal assessments for determining eligibility under IDEA’s 13 disability categories are completed, school-based specialists are charged with summarizing the results to aid team decision making. In turn, specific recommendations are made to ensure school staff and family members fully understand how programming and supports should be implemented to address documented student needs. It is vital that teachers understand how to review assessment results and be an active team member in collaborating with families around the specific recommendations to be implemented. Teachers must be able to advocate for necessary programming and supports while still addressing the questions/needs of family members.

What Is A School Psychologist PowerpointMac Barnett
School psychologists play an important role in schools by conducting assessments, providing consultation, implementing prevention and intervention programs, and advocating for students. They work with students, teachers, and families to address issues related to learning, behavior, mental health, and social/emotional development. Some of their key responsibilities include evaluating academic skills and learning difficulties, observing students, designing and implementing interventions, counseling students, and educating teachers and parents. The goal of school psychologists is to promote students' academic achievement, social/emotional well-being, and healthy development.
The document discusses positive behavior support (PBS) as a systems approach for establishing social culture and behavioral supports in schools. PBS focuses on improving environments and skills rather than fixing individuals. It emphasizes improving contexts and student competence over viewing students as problems. PBS plans target supports at universal, selected, and intensive levels. Key features of PBS include administrative support, team implementation, defining and teaching expectations, acknowledging appropriate behavior, monitoring errors, and collaborating with families.
The document discusses strategies for supporting students with behavioral challenges.

The second will establish the basis for a school-wide positive behavior support system. The third will summarize the research on successful ADHD approaches. And the fourth will use a rubric to assess individual student support systems.
This document discusses behavior management strategies for teachers. It notes that behavior is complex and multifaceted, often stemming from the child's perspective and experiences. Effective behavior management involves building positive relationships, motivating learning intrinsically, and having clear rules, procedures, and consequences. The document provides tips for developing a behavior management plan, including collecting student perceptions, analyzing causes of misbehavior, setting rules and consequences with student input, and using praise and rewards to encourage positive behavior.
This document discusses school-based assessment (SBA) and the importance of assessing learning in a holistic manner. It provides examples of exercises from an EVS textbook that aim to relate classroom learning to students' real-life experiences. Some exercises can be used for written, oral, or school-based assessments, while others that assess skills like creating art from local materials may require alternative assessment strategies. The document emphasizes that assessing students based on their own experiences allows for multiple responses and deeper understanding compared to questions that can be answered through rote memorization. Overall, SBA is presented as a more effective approach than centralized exams for obtaining a comprehensive view of each child's learning.
The document provides an introduction to the SCERTS model for autism intervention. SCERTS focuses on improving quality of life for children with autism and their families.

Voice of the Parent: How Schools can Engage with ParentsQualtrics
This webinar discussed how schools can use surveys to listen to the voice of parents and strengthen parent-school relationships. It covered designing a Voice of Parent program using Qualtrics surveys to collect, analyze, and act on parent feedback over multiple waves throughout the school year. Attendees learned about asking targeted questions to segment the parent community, such as asking a single check-in question regularly. Standards and frameworks were presented to evaluate culture and performance based on domains like achievement, relationships, and reputation. Analyzing trends in the data can guide schools' strategic planning and community engagement efforts.
Free, Cheap, & Easy! Technology Tools For Your Classroom
Today, technology tools for education abound! I’ll share what works for me in my classes. ClassDojo, Voki, Storybird, Padlet – just to name a few. What do they do? How can we use them in class? What secret jewels do you have to share with the group?
Class Dojo is a web-based tool that allows teachers to award students positive and negative points for their behavior. Students can earn points for things like teamwork, completed work, and helping others. They can lose points for behaviors like talking out of turn, not following directions, or incomplete homework. Students and parents can access Class Dojo at home to view points. Teachers can use Class Dojo to reward good class behavior with activities like extra recess or prizes for students with high points. Consequences for negative points include contacting parents after three strikes in a week or assigning detention. The goal is to reduce office referrals by first giving students chances to improve their behavior.

Assignment 1: Dealing with Diversity in America from Reconstruction through the 1920s
For History 105: Dr. Stansbury’s classes (6 pages here)
Due Week 3 and worth 120 points. The formal deadline is Monday at 9am Eastern time, Jan. 21. But, due to the King holiday, no late penalty will be imposed if submitted by the end of Jan. 22.
[NOTE ON ECREE: The university is adopting a tool, called ecree for doing writing assignments in many classes. We will be using the ecree program for doing our papers in this class. More instructions on this tool will be posted. You are welcome to type your paper in MS-Word as traditionally done—and then to upload that file to ecree to revise and finish it up. Or, as we suggest, you may type your paper directly into ecree. When using ecree, you should use CHROME as your browser. As posted: “Please note that ecree works best in Firefox and Chrome. Please do not use Internet Explorer or mobile devices when using ecree.”]
BACKGROUND FOR THE PAPER: After the Civil War, the United States had to recover from war, handle western expansion, and grapple with very new economic forms. However, its greatest issues would revolve around the legacies of slavery and increasing diversity in the decades after the Civil War. In the South, former slaves now had freedom and new opportunities but, despite the Reconstruction period, faced old prejudices and rapidly forming new barriers. Immigrants from Europe and Asia came in large numbers but then faced political and social restrictions. Women continued to seek rights. Yet, on the whole, America became increasingly diverse by the 1920s. Consider developments, policies, and laws in that period from 1865 to the 1920s. Examine the statement below and drawing from provided sources, present a paper with specific examples and arguments to demonstrate the validity of your position.
Topic and Thesis Statement—in which you can take a pro or con position:
· Political policies and movements in the period from 1865 to the 1920s generally promoted diversity and “the melting pot” despite the strong prejudices of a few. (or you can take the position that they did not). Use specific examples of policies or movements from different decades to support your position.
After giving general consideration to your readings so far and any general research, select one of the positions above as your position—your thesis. (Sometimes after doing more thorough research, you might choose the reverse position. This happens with critical thinking and inquiry. Your final paper might end up taking a different position than you originally envisioned.) Organize your paper as follows with the four parts below (see TIPS sheet and TEMPLATE also), handling these issues:
1. The position you choose —or something close to it—will be the thesis statement in your opening paragraph. [usually this is one paragraph with thesis statement being the last sentence of the paragraph.]
2. To support your position, use thre.

The document emphasizes that assessing students based on their own experiences allows for multiple responses and deeper understanding compared to questions that can be answered through rote memorization. Overall, SBA is presented as a more effective approach than centralized exams for obtaining a comprehensive view of each child's learning.
The document provides an introduction to the SCERTS model for autism intervention. SCERTS focuses on improving quality of life for children with autism and their families. It addresses three core domains: social communication, emotional regulation, and transactional support. The social communication domain focuses on helping children become effective communicators. The emotional regulation domain addresses helping children regulate emotions to be available for learning. The transactional support domain involves supports from partners to facilitate learning and development.
This document outlines the research plan and methodology for a project studying depression and anxiety in children aged 10-14 in the American public education system. It includes details on stakeholder interviews and surveys with parents. The research will be conducted in two phases, starting with qualitative interviews of various stakeholders including school psychologists, teachers, and clinical psychologists. Interview guides are provided. A parent survey is also outlined to understand factors influencing school choice, perceptions of children's mental health, and effective approaches to education. The goal is to identify problems children face and potential solutions to improve mental health support.
This document outlines the aims and objectives of six sessions on supporting children's play. It provides information on key topics like the physical play environment, socialization, the EYFS framework, philosophical approaches to play, children's development, and enabling play environments. Practitioners are given tasks to identify important elements of play spaces, create activity plans, research philosophical approaches, and design classroom displays highlighting how environments can support development through play. The overall document provides guidance to early childhood educators on developing high-quality play environments and experiences for children.
School Leaders Licensure Assessment Review: From This Book: SLLA Crash Course...Wafa Hozien
From: SLLA Crash Course (2017). With two complete Practice Tests.
https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781475827842/SLLA-Crash-Course-Approaches-for-Success
The School Leaders Licensure Assessment (SLLA) measures whether entry-level education leaders have the standards-relevant knowledge believed necessary for competent professional practice. This is a review session that I hold that documents what an education leader may encounter. Each of the questions in this powerpoint focus on a specific content area related to the standards addressed in ISLLC 2008. In answering the questions, candidates are required to analyze situations and data, propose appropriate courses of action and provide rationales for their proposals.
This document provides an overview of Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs). It discusses what an IEP is, who is involved in developing an IEP, the required components of an IEP, and principles from legal rulings about IEPs. It also covers identifying behavioral needs, when a BIP is needed, developing a BIP based on a functional behavioral assessment, components of effective BIPs, and incorporating BIPs into IEPs.

This document discusses inclusion programs for children with Asperger's syndrome. It outlines key characteristics of Asperger's including difficulties with social skills, communication, and rigid routines. The benefits of inclusion are described as well as tips for teachers such as using visual schedules and social stories. Creating individualized family service plans and assessing progress is also covered. Overall, the document provides guidance for setting up inclusion programs that meet the unique needs of students with Asperger's.
The document provides information about a learning episode involving studying factors that influence learner development. It will focus on early experiences and learner characteristics as described by family and others. The goals are to describe home environment factors affecting learning and identify strategies for teachers to work with families. Performance will be evaluated on observation quality, analysis depth, reflection clarity, portfolio organization and timeliness. The episode also discusses Urie Bronfenbrenner's ecological model of environmental layers influencing learners. The teacher's role is to work with families and communities to nurture learners, not replace what is missing at home.
Voice of the Parent: How Schools can Engage with ParentsQualtrics
This webinar discussed how schools can use surveys to listen to the voice of parents and strengthen parent-school relationships. It covered designing a Voice of Parent program using Qualtrics surveys to collect, analyze, and act on parent feedback over multiple waves throughout the school year. Attendees learned about asking targeted questions to segment the parent community, such as asking a single check-in question regularly. Standards and frameworks were presented to evaluate culture and performance based on domains like achievement, relationships, and reputation. Analyzing trends in the data can guide schools' strategic planning and community engagement efforts.
Free, Cheap, & Easy! Technology Tools For Your Classroom
Today, technology tools for education abound! I’ll share what works for me in my classes. ClassDojo, Voki, Storybird, Padlet – just to name a few. What do they do? How can we use them in class? What secret jewels do you have to share with the group?
Class Dojo is a web-based tool that allows teachers to award students positive and negative points for their behavior. Students can earn points for things like teamwork, completed work, and helping others. They can lose points for behaviors like talking out of turn, not following directions, or incomplete homework. Students and parents can access Class Dojo at home to view points. Teachers can use Class Dojo to reward good class behavior with activities like extra recess or prizes for students with high points. Consequences for negative points include contacting parents after three strikes in a week or assigning detention. The goal is to reduce office referrals by first giving students chances to improve their behavior.

Assignment 1: Dealing with Diversity in America from Reconstruction through the 1920s
For History 105: Dr. Stansbury’s classes (6 pages here)
Due Week 3 and worth 120 points. The formal deadline is Monday at 9am Eastern time, Jan. 21. But, due to the King holiday, no late penalty will be imposed if submitted by the end of Jan. 22.
[NOTE ON ECREE: The university is adopting a tool, called ecree for doing writing assignments in many classes. We will be using the ecree program for doing our papers in this class. More instructions on this tool will be posted. You are welcome to type your paper in MS-Word as traditionally done—and then to upload that file to ecree to revise and finish it up. Or, as we suggest, you may type your paper directly into ecree. When using ecree, you should use CHROME as your browser. As posted: “Please note that ecree works best in Firefox and Chrome. Please do not use Internet Explorer or mobile devices when using ecree.”]
BACKGROUND FOR THE PAPER: After the Civil War, the United States had to recover from war, handle western expansion, and grapple with very new economic forms. However, its greatest issues would revolve around the legacies of slavery and increasing diversity in the decades after the Civil War. In the South, former slaves now had freedom and new opportunities but, despite the Reconstruction period, faced old prejudices and rapidly forming new barriers. Immigrants from Europe and Asia came in large numbers but then faced political and social restrictions. Women continued to seek rights. Yet, on the whole, America became increasingly diverse by the 1920s. Consider developments, policies, and laws in that period from 1865 to the 1920s. Examine the statement below and drawing from provided sources, present a paper with specific examples and arguments to demonstrate the validity of your position.
Topic and Thesis Statement—in which you can take a pro or con position:
· Political policies and movements in the period from 1865 to the 1920s generally promoted diversity and “the melting pot” despite the strong prejudices of a few. (or you can take the position that they did not). Use specific examples of policies or movements from different decades to support your position.
After giving general consideration to your readings so far and any general research, select one of the positions above as your position—your thesis. (Sometimes after doing more thorough research, you might choose the reverse position. This happens with critical thinking and inquiry. Your final paper might end up taking a different position than you originally envisioned.) Organize your paper as follows with the four parts below (see TIPS sheet and TEMPLATE also), handling these issues:
1. The position you choose —or something close to it—will be the thesis statement in your opening paragraph. [usually this is one paragraph with thesis statement being the last sentence of the paragraph.]
2. To support your position, use thre.

Assignment 1 Discussion—Environmental FactorsIn this assignment, .docxdeanmtaylor1545
Assignment 1: Discussion—Environmental Factors
In this assignment, you will have a chance to discuss a topic that brings personality theory together with social psychology. Dealing with unhealthy groups like gangs or cults is an important issue in social psychology. However, you cannot fully address this issue if you do not first understand personality development and how one’s personality affects the choices that are made. Specifically, you will look at Skinner’s behavioral perspective on personality development and discuss how that theory can play a role in this issue of unhealthy groups.
Bob is an adolescent who grew up in a gang-infested part of a large city. His parents provided little supervision while he was growing up and left Bob mostly on his own. He developed friendships with several kids in his neighborhood who were involved in gangs, and eventually joined a gang himself. Now crime and gang activities are a way of life for Bob. These have become his way to identify with his peer group and to support himself.
It is relatively easy to see that Bob’s environment has played a large role in his current lifestyle. This coincides with Skinner’s concept of environment being the sole determinant of how personality develops. Skinner believed that if you change someone’s environment and the reinforcements in that environment, you can change their behavior.
Use the Internet, Argosy University library resources, and your textbook to research Skinner’s concept of the environment and answer the following questions:
If you were to create an environment for Bob to change his behavior from that of a gang member to a respectable and law-abiding citizen, what types of environmental changes and positive reinforcements would you suggest and why?
What are some interventions that are used in the field currently? Are there any evidence-based programs that use these environmental and reinforcement interventions?
Write your initial response in 2–3 paragraphs. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

After the Civil War, the United States had to recover from war, handle western expansion, and grapple with very new economic forms. However, its greatest issues would revolve around the legacies of slavery and increasing diversity in the decades after the Civil War. In the South, former slaves now had freedom and new opportunities but, despite the Reconstruction period, faced old prejudices and rapidly forming new barriers.

Yet, on the whole, America became increasingly diverse by the 1920s. Consider developments, policies, and laws in that period from 1865 to the 1920s. Examine the statement below and drawing from provided sources, present a paper with specific examples and arguments to demonstrate the validity of your position.

The position you choose —or something close to it—will be the thesis statement in your opening paragraph.
To support your position, use three (3) specific examples from different decades between 1865 and 1930. You may narrowly focus on race or gender or immigrant status, or you may use examples relevant to all categories.
Explain why the opposing view is weak in comparison to yours.
Consider your life today: In what way does the history you have shown shape or impact issues in your workplace or desired profession?

This assignment is due in Module 8. There are many variations on WebQuests. Please make sure you follow these instructions and not those listed in the textbook. Although, reading the texts and learning another variation will only benefit you in the future. This assignment is worth 100 points.
1. Find a good website in which you can use for the exercise. If you want your students to learn more about zoo animals, then maybe you should locate your local zoo website and use it as a source. Make sure you choose a site that is age appropriate for your students. And please identify which grade and subject level you have chosen in the title.
2. After deciding on a website, create the student instructions for this exercise. Make sure to incorporate aesthetic value (picture). The instructions are very important because you do want your students to be excited about the activity.
3. You will ask the students 10 questions about the site and its information. Be sure the website is clear in its direction and easily navigated so the students can find the information. Create the questions and type them into a Word document with lines for students to use to fill in their answers.
4. After you finish your WebQuest, make sure you include a sheet with the answers to the questions.

Assignment 2
This assignment is due in Module 9. The objective of this lesson is to utilize the Internet to help clarify/expand upon your teaching, while creating a field trip environment for your students.
There are times when you will not have the funding to take your class on an actual field trip. With the help of technology, you can now visit various sites without leaving the room. For assignment 4, you are going to plan a virtual field trip for your classroom. Think about the grade level, subject area, possible topics for the curriculum that you teach, and appropriate online communication. You must create an original, virtual field trip. You cannot use someone else's field trip. Remember, you can utilize various software (PowerPoint, Prezi, etc.) to create this field trip, but be careful, it is not a lesson with technology assisted software. The students have to feel like they are truly at the location of the field trip looking at the exhibit, animal, statue, and so forth. There should be no words on the slides because it is not a classroom lesson, it is a field trip.
You will be the tour guide, and everything you plan to say as the guide shoul.

Chapter 1: What Is an
Information System?
Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of this chapter, you will be
able to:
• define what an information system is by identifying
its major components;
• describe the basic history of information systems;
and
• describe the basic argument behind the article
“Does IT Matter?” by Nicholas Carr.
Introduction
Welcome to the world of information systems, a world that seems to
change almost daily. Over the past few decades information systems
have progressed to being virtually everywhere, even to the point
where you may not realize its existence in many of your daily
activities. Stop and consider how you interface with various
components in information systems every day through different
Chapter 1: What Is an Information
System? | 9
electronic devices. Smartphones, laptop, and personal computers
connect us constantly to a variety of systems including messaging,
banking, online retailing, and academic resources, just to name a
few examples. Information systems are at the center of virtually
every organization, providing users with almost unlimited
resources.
Have you ever considered why businesses invest in technology?
Some purchase computer hardware and software because everyone
else has computers. Some even invest in the same hardware and
software as their business friends even though different technology
might be more appropriate for them. Finally, some businesses do
sufficient research before deciding what best fits their needs. As
you read through this book be sure to evaluate the contents of each
chapter based on how you might someday apply what you have
learned to strengthen the position of the business you work for, or
maybe even your own business. Wise decisions can result in stability
and growth for your future enterprise.
Information systems surround you almost every day. Wi-fi
networks on your university campus, database search services in
the learning resource center, and printers in computer labs are
good examples. Every time you go shopping you are interacting
with an information system that manages inventory and sales. Even
driving to school or work results in an interaction with the
transportation information system, impacting traffic lights,
cameras, etc. V.

Assignment 1
Scenario 1
You are developing a Windows auditing plan and need to determine which log files to capture and review. You are considering log files that record access to sensitive resources. You know that auditing too many events for too many objects can cause computers to run more slowly and consume more disk space to store the audit log file entries.
Answer the following question(s): (2 References)
If computer performance and disk space were not a concern, what is another reason for not tracking audit information for all events?
Scenario 2
Assume you are a security professional. You are determining which of the following backup strategies will provide the best protection against data loss, whether from disk failure or natural disaster:
· Daily full server backups with hourly incremental backups
· Redundant array of independent disks (RAID) with periodic full backups
· Replicated databases and folders on high-availability alternate servers
Answer the following question(s): (2 References)
Which backup strategy would you adopt? Why?

ASSIGNMENT 1:
Hearing Versus Listening
Describe how you learned how to listen! Please use between 300-500 words to make a complete description of this learned behavior. Did you learn to listen properly? Do you still listen the same way that you were taught as a child? Why or why not?
“Doctor Aunt”

.
A mother takes her four-year-old to the pediatrician reporting she’s worried about the girl’s hearing. The doctor runs through a battery of tests, checks in the girl’s ears to be sure everything looks good, and makes notes in the child’s folder. Then, she takes the mother by the arm. They move together to the far end of the room, behind the girl. The doctor whispers in a low voice to the concerned parent: “Everything looks fine. But, she’s been through a lot of tests today. You might want to take her for ice cream after this as a reward.” The daughter jerks her head around, a huge grin on her face, “Oh, please, Mommy! I love ice cream!” The doctor, speaking now at a regular volume, reports, “As I said, I don’t think there’s any problem with her hearing, but she may not always be choosing to listen.”
Hearing
is something most everyone does without even trying. It is a physiological response to sound waves moving through the air at up to 760 miles per hour. First, we receive the sound in our ears. The wave of sound causes our eardrums to vibrate, which engages our brain to begin processing. The sound is then transformed into nerve impulses so that we can perceive the sound in our brains. Our auditory cortex recognizes a sound has been heard and begins to process the sound by matching it to previously encountered sounds in a process known as
auditory association
.
[1]
Hearing has kept our species alive for centuries. When you are asleep but wake in a panic having heard a noise downstairs, an age-old self-preservation response is kicking in. You were asleep. You weren’t listening for the noise—unless perhaps you are a parent of a teenager out past curfew—but you hear it. Hearing is unintentional, whereas
listening
(by contrast) requires you to pay conscious attention. Our bodies hear, but we need to employ intentional effort to actually listen.
“Hearing Mechanics”
by Zina Deretsky. Public domain.
We regularly engage in several different types of listening. When we are tuning our attention to a song we like, or a poetry reading, or actors in a play, or sitcom antics on television, we are listening for pleasure, also known as
appreciative listening
. When we are listening to a friend or family member, building our relationship with another through offering support and showing empathy for her feelings in the situation she is discussing, we are engaged in
relational listening
. Therapists, counselors, and conflict mediators are trained in another level known as
empathetic or therapeutic listening
. When we are at a political event, attending a debate, or enduring a salesperson touting the benefits of vario.

Scott Smith Assessment and Recommendations
Summary:
In 100-200 words, summarize the psychological report. Include
specific data and
observation information that will help guide Scott’s educational
goals.
Scott, who is six years old, is in the first grade. The parents
and teachers referred him
to have behavioral concerns for aggression, atypical behavior,
hyperactivity, and failing
2. to follow instruct ions or even engage in the writ ing act ivit ies
while he is in class. The
mother stated that Scott was born after a typical 40-weeks
pregnancy and that he
did not develop any problems of concern. The developmental
milestones of children
were reached and attained within the normal range if gross
language and motor;
although he has poor coordination of the fine motors.
Scott 's parents consider his behavior while at home as
compliant and quiet. On the
other hand, teachers describe him as aggressive and non-
compliant. They also add
that he is in level with his peers. However, they st ill consider it
challenging to gauge
him against the rest of his peers due to his non-compliance
behavior. Usually, Scott
prefers being in alone act ivit ies, he stares off, while at the
same t ime experiencing
frequent mood swings. His non-compliant behavior is exhibited
during writ ing or
events that Scott does not like.
During the tests, there were frequent cases of complaints on fat
3. igues on hands,
demonstrat ion of sensit ivity to mult i-sensory processing,
auditory processing
vestibular processing, oral processing, and engaging in the
behavior of sensory
seeking. Generally, all these issues were assumed to be
interfering with Scott’s class
part icipation.
Goals:
Write one behavioral goal related to classroom behavior and one
social/emotional goal
related to peer interaction. Goals must be measurable and
include how to address the
target behaviors with a replacement behavior.
Behavioral Goal:
· The treatment aims to ensure that by the end of one month of
intervention, Scott
will be able less aggressive and be more willing to engage in in-
class act ivit ies.
ty 1…
4. Student: Submitted to Grand Canyon University 2…
· Social Goal:
By the end of the intervention for one month, Scott is expected
to become more
interruptive with others in the school.
Assessments:
In 150-250 words, identify one informal or formal assessment
method for measuring
Scott’s progress with his behavioral and social/emotional goals.
Briefly explain why the
assessment is appropriate for progress monitoring, including
how bias is minimized.
The Behavior Assessment Scale for Children (BASC) was used
in measuring issues to
do with hyperactivity, aggression, depression withdrawal,
paying attention, and
5. atypical. The applicat ion can be used to determine whether
Scott is improving in his
behaviors both at home and school. Usually, the test can be
suitable for showing
changes concerning his interruption and taking act ions without
so many thoughts on
it . It would also measure the level of depression and help
determine whether his
moods are better by remaining calm and not being easily
frustrated and upset.
Considering that the test is applicable in all issues that Scott is
experiencing, any
change that he might encounter. Behavior Assessment Scale for
Children (BASC) uses
standardized behavior rat ing scales (Pierangelo & Giuliani,
2017). As a result , it
minimizes the variability of the information obtained as well as
ensuring assessing the
appropriate target behaviors. It also reduces subject ivity while
making decisions, thus
increasing its reliability.
Recommendations:
Based on information and assessment results in the study, in
6. 100-250 words, include
3-4 total, specific recommendations to manage Scott’s behavior
for the school,
teachers, and parent, keeping information about Scott and his
best interest in mind
and in guiding educational decisions.
Recommendations to the School
1. Scott should be referred for a part icular education review
based on the outcome of
the tests, analysis of the records, and observations to determine
if he has a
disability.
2. Scott should be reviewed for Occupational Therapy to help in
improving his
exceptional motor ability and sensory processing to keep him
from his act ing
behaviors.
3. The school should review Scott’s case and provide one-on-
one inst itut ional support
academically and in behavioral management.
4. A Functional Behavioral Analysis should be conducted to
create, and execute
7. Behavioral interventions plan to be followed by Scott and his
teachers.
Recommendations to the teacher:
1. Utilize t imer reminders and countdowns to help Scott transit
ion into non-preferred
activit ies to help build anticipatory reactions and readiness.
2. Ensure Scott has differentiated act ivit ies to accommodate
for writ ing delays so
that Scott does not feel overwhelmed with typical lessons. Thus,
Scott can have
support for performing the task requested.
3. Allow Scott to resubmit work without penalty and help to
correct problems so that
Scott is aware of the correct way to complete the assignment
and can build
Grand Canyon University 0…
8. appropriate reactions to correct ions.
Recommendation to the parent:
1. Use posit ive behavioral reinforcement with Scott at home to
provide consistency
between home and school behavioral interventions. When Scott
preforms a
requested act ivity correct ly and without hesitat ion, reward
with praise and
encouragement or preferred act ivit ies.
2. Encourage Scott to part icipate in excellent motor act ivit ies
like coloring, beading,
or drawing at home to make learning act ivit ies fun. Scott
would not feel that it is
difficult but receives practice in an area of improvement.
3. Talk about Scott 's day at school in detail. Parents should
have Scott narrate his day
from beginning to end, discussing problems and celebrating
success to identify his
areas of strength and improvement. Hence, he can understand
9. how to adjust his
behavior or take pride in his success.
4. Sit down with Scott one on one and help him with any
unfinished work or homework
due back at school the next day, so that Scott receives support
in difficult academic
tasks.
Rationale:
In 150-250 words, just ify your choices as an advocate for
Scott. Make sure to explain
how your summary, goals, assessment methods, and
recommendations minimize bias
and advocate for Scott 's needs. Support your choices with 2-3
scholarly resources.
The recommendations made to parents, the teacher, and the
school advocate for
Scott 's needs in many ways. These recommendations made are
from best practice
approaches that ensure Scott gets every opportunity to change
his behavior and
succeed. Many of these recommendations are made based on a
posit ive
reinforcement approach, which benefits Scott in many ways.
10. "Posit ive reinforcement
works by presenting a motivating item, so then the person is
motivated to finish the
task assigned to them." (Posit ive Psychology, 2016) These
types of approaches allow
Scott to have clear and concise expectations, not only in school
but at home as well.
Test ing notes and the observer noted that Scott would only test
or part icipate if he
was motivated to do so. Posit ive reinforcement approaches, like
token boards,
behavior charts, and sensory input, are all forms of helping the
student find their
motivation. To remove bias and ensure that Scott 's needs are
advocated for, it was
recommended Scott to receive further assessed for Special
Education. This would
allow for more individuals to determine Scott 's needs and
determine an appropriate
plan of act ion. The school needs to determine if Scott not only
has a disability but if
that disability requires special education. (Learning Disabilit ies
Associat ion, 2018)
These types of plans manifest in the form of Behavior
11. Intervention Plans and services
to address not only behavioral support but skill support like
occupational therapy to
help underdeveloped skills. The implementation of these
recommendations would
support Scott within the classroom and at home in learning
appropriate ways to
behave as well as completing non-preferred academic tasks.

Parents Collaboration and Conference Plan
Compose a 250-500 word plan explaining the Summary, Goals,
Assessments, and
Recommendations sections to Scott’s parents in easy-to-
understand language.
Support your explanations with data analyses, sharing how
assessment information
12. led to educational decisions with colleagues, and collaborating
with his parents to
promote student success.
In addit ion, anticipate possible concerns his parents may have,
addressing each with
applicable strategies. Conclude your plan with recommendations
to meet again with
his parents to assess and discuss Scott’s progress.
Good morning Mr. and Mrs. Smith. We are here today to talk
about Scott and develop
a plan to enhance both his educational life and his home life as
well. Is there anything
you would like to share with me about Scott before we start?
Any recent changes at
home or maybe in his day to day life that you think could be
affect ing him?
Well if you can think of anything else let me know. At this
point in reviewing all of
Scott 's test scores and his classroom observations, we see the
behavior challenges
within the classroom sett ing. As observed, writ ing act ivit ies
and group activit ies are a
trigger for Scott 's behaviors in the classroom. Looking over the
results of his Motor
13. Proficiency assessment, there are delays in his visual-motor
skills; direct ly related to
his improper pencil grasp and t ight hold.
The evaluator noticed he has low tone in his shoulders, which
could be causing him
fatigue after writ ing, which explains avoidance of writ ing
assignments. For Scott to be
successful in writ ing, we are going to work on developing
those muscles for
appropriate grasp and hold. The evaluator noted that some other
processing
components could be coming into play where his vest ibular,
auditory and mult i-
sensory skills are concerned. Vestibular input, noise, and many
things going on at once
can be distractors or triggers for his inappropriate behavior in
class. This could explain
why at home, he displays a more quiet and compliant nature
than at school. Home is
comfortable and more subdued compared to a class of act ive
peers. Scott seeks out
sensory input to offset these st imuli in the classroom. In all
other tested areas of
14. intelligence and gross motor control, Scott scored average, and
above average, so
we are doing great!
Some recommendations made for Scott to be carried out by the
school was to
assess him further, possibly having a disability that requires
special education
services. This would help us place some interventions in the
classroom behaviorally
and academically so that Scott can better succeed. Creating a
behavioral intervention
plan and assessing for OT therapy were also on the list to
better support Scott 's
delayed fine motor skills. The goal is to get him comfortable
with writ ing, so we don't
see those behaviors from him as often. The teacher should allow
Scott more t ime to
complete work at no penalty and allow t ime for sensory input
breaks to establish a
secure feeling before dong the next task. Thus, they will help
ground Scott 's sensory
needs and curb unwanted behaviors in the classroom. Posit ive
reinforcement
behavioral approaches were suggested to help create clear and
15. concise expectations
for Scott to follow through with. Behavior charts, visual aids,
and token boards are all
great motivators for Scott to complete academic tasks, earn
rewards, and better
model expected behavior. We think that these interventions
could benefit Scott and
help put him on the path to success with us!
Do you have any questions?
Is there anything you thought of during the meeting that you
want to add?
I appreciate you both being such advocates for Scott; I think we
have a great start in
actors
gett ing Scott on that path to success! Please let me know if you
have anything to
add if you think of it later. I am always here to help!
16. Take Home Activity:
In addit ion, create a 125-250 word take home activity for
Scott’s parents, consistent
with your recommendations. Using encouraging, support ive
language, outline a
minimum of two engaging at-home strategies for student
behavior and
social/emotional improvement, considering historical and family
backgrounds.
Activity:
What it should look like:
Why?
Activity R1eward System
Institute a posit ive reinforcement system for chores or act ivit
ies needed to be done
at home to work towards a reward. Work together to determine t
tokens the number
of the emblems necessary to earn that reward and to what level
does it need to be
completed.
This helps create a consistent behavioral approach, which is
being used at school for
17. Scott. With the consistency between home and school, Scott
will be able to perform
to meet elaborate, concise, and appropriate expectations.
Fine Motor Game Activit ies
Sit down for twenty to thirty minutes a day and work on fine
motor building act ivit ies
like drawing, paint ing, cutt ing, beading, or lacing. Make these
act ivit ies fun for Scott
so that it doesn’t feel like work, but a fun game to part icipate
in with his parents. Use
this opportunity to demonstrate proper pencil grasps,
appropriate movement, and to
build stamina. Encourage him with posit ive reinforcement,
words of praise, and
excitement!
This will help refine Scott 's fine motor skills that need support.
This will ult imately help
with his t ight pencil grasp, improper pencil grasp, and lack of
stamina when writ ing.
Making the act ivity fun not only supports Scott with fine motor
skills and keeps him
motivated but allows him to build fun memories with you!

aggression, and some other atypical behaviors that have his
teacher concerned. For example, he sometimes refuses requests
to do tasks he does not want to complete. SOURCES OF
INFORMATION
Background information was obtained from his mother, his
previous social worker, former psychologist, and previously
completed educational and medical reports. This information
was obtained from interviews, developmental history, and rating
scales as well as medical records. This information appears to
be from reliable sources and is considered valid. Current status
of his learning and behavior was obtained from observation
during testing and from standardized psychological,
neuropsychological and achievement tests. The results of the
evaluations are deemed as valid per Scott’s engagement with
test items that were administered. BACKGROUND
INFORMATION
Pregnancy and birth history: Scott’s birth was typical after a 40-
25. week pregnancy. He was an 8-pound baby with no apparent
concerns at birth.
Developmental history: Scott experienced sleep difficulties as
an infant, rarely sleeping for more than 2-3 hours at a time. His
appetite was also reported as poor. Developmental milestones
were reported as within normal range for language and gross
motor development. However, he had poor fine motor
coordination, especially for writing. Development of bladder
and bowel control at night was also somewhat late.
Medical history: He had the usual childhood illnesses of
cough/colds, ear infections, and strep throat. BEHAVIOR
OBSERVATIONS
Testing behavior: Scott needed to be walked into the testing
room by a staff member. Per administration protocol for each
assessment, Scott was provided breaks to complete the
assessment items. Scott often stood during testing and at times
would pace before answering a question. He made comments not
related to the test items that were derogatory in nature towards
the examiner. Testing had to be suspended one day when Scott
tried to hit the examiner. Testing took place over multiple days.
Behavior rating scales and interview:
Formal assessment: Behavior Assessment Scale for Children
(BASC)
Clinically significant ratings in the areas of:
· Hyperactivity (excessive movement, acts without thinking,
calls out in group activities, interrupts adults when he wants
something)
· Aggression (threatens to hurt others, hits others, breaks and
wrecks things of others)
· Depression (e.g., moods change quickly, easily frustrated and
upset, pouts, screams “That’s not fair”)
· Attention problems (e.g., gives up easily, short attention span,
easily distracted)
· Withdrawal (e.g., plays alone, refuses to talk, avoids activities
with others)
· Atypicality (stares blankly, seems out of touch with reality,
26. repeats thoughts over and over, sings or hums to self, and hears
or sees things that are not there)
Home: Scott’s mother and father state he is non-compliant and
often displays the behaviors noted in the BASC. He does enjoy
video games and computers. He has been fixated on these two
activities from an early age.
School: His teacher states he is rarely absent, frequently
aggressive, and often noncompliant. Academically, she thinks
he is on par with same-age peers. However, his refusal to do
work does make it hard for her to gauge.
STANDARDIZED TESTS ADMINISTERED:
Standardized assessments that targeted the domains of
intelligence, visual-motor skills, learning processes, academic
achievement, and emotional/psychological development.
Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Third Edition (WISC-
III)
This test measures current intellectual functioning. Overall
cognitive ability in the average range (FSIQ = 103; 58th
percentile). Nonverbal ability is significantly better developed
(77th percentile; 111) than verbal ability (37th percentile; 95).
Visual Motor Integration Scale
37th percentile; Age equivalent = 4 yrs. 11 months
The types of tasks in this assessment test perceptual and motor
skills, which are precursors for writing letters. Scott has shown
improvement since initial screening at 3 years, 8 months when
he was at the 25th percentile.
Peabody Individual Achievement Test-R (PIAT-R)
Sub TestRange
General Info Above Average
Reading Recognition Above Average
Read. Comp. Above Average
Mathematics Average
Spelling Above Average
27. Total Test Above Average
Conclusions
Scott has acquired basic pre-readiness skills in reading (he can
identify all upper and lowercase letters in the alphabet; can
identify pictures for words beginning with a, b, c, d, f, g, h, l,
m, n, s, t; can retell a three-event story and answer a
comprehension question after a passage is read). In the math
area Scott can orally count to 30, identify all basic shapes, say
the names of the days of the week, and answer addition and
subtraction facts to five.
Work Samples: Writing
· Only 3 samples were available because Scott refuses to write.
Writing is very immature with large, gangly stick figures, no
proportions, and very light.
· Pencil grip is incorrect and awkward - refuses to hold pencil
correctly - even with cushioned grippers.
· Refuses to write name, letters, or numbers.
OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY EVALUATION
Fine Motor Skill Development:
Bruininks- Osteretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (a standardized
battery of motor performance tests; used by OTs, PTs and
sometimes P.E. teachers; assesses both gross and fine motor
skills) 54th percentile
· Needed prompts and motivator to overcome refusal - did
complete test.
· Response speed equivalent is 5 yrs. 8 months.
· Visual motor control equivalent is 4 yrs. 11 months.
· Upper limb speed and dexterity age equiv. - 7 yrs. 2 mo.
· Right hand preference with irregular grasp and tight hold.
Demonstrates diminished strength in shoulders and arms.
Complains of fatigue after one minute.
Sensory Processing Skills
Areas of definite difference when compared to peers:
28. · Touch processing (tactile defensiveness, craves touch)
Areas of probable difference when compared to peers
· Sensory seeking behaviors
· Oral sensory processing
· Auditory processing
· Vestibular (related to balance, orientation of the head, etc.)
processing
· Multi-sensory processing
Conclusions
· Fine motor skills are below age/grade level. Difficulties with
fine motor control and manipulation.
· Sensory processing is a concern. Difficulties interfere with
participation in classroom activities, interaction with peers and
staff, emotional and behavioral control and attending skills.
OBSERVATIONS IN SCHOOL SETTING
Day 1 - 9:00-11:00 a.m.
· Students were engaged in circle time activities such as
calendar (day, date, weather, etc.) When Scott was asked to
draw the weather symbol on chart, he refused by strongly
stating, “no.” Refused teacher’s offer of help and ran to the
table and sat under it. Teacher asked him to come out and join
group. Refused and stayed under table until circle time finished
(20 minutes).
· Students engaged in various center time activities (e.g.,
making shapes with clay, alphabet activities, etc.).
· Scott refused to join in any of the activities. His off-task
behavior consisted of shouting and screaming that he wasn’t
going to do something, throwing things, knocking his chair
over, trying to leave the classroom, hiding in the classroom,
going under the table.
· He refused to participate in anything the class did 70 minutes
of the 90-minute observation. Initially teacher tried to “coax”
Scott into joining an activity. Then she ignored his behaviors
and interacted with the other students (e.g., asking them
29. questions about their center activity, etc.)
· During the last 10 minutes of the observation Scott engaged in
a self-selected activity. Scott went to the Lego table and began
to build a Lego structure.
· Peer behaviors included 1 “tussle” (both boys tugging at the
same truck during free choice activity) over a toy truck with one
boy saying, “I had it first.”
Day 2 - 9:00-11:00 a.m.
Schedule of activities was the same as Day 1.
· During calendar Scott sat outside the group but didn’t verbally
yell or interrupt group.
· During center time Scott refused to join his assigned group for
alphabet activity. When teacher tried to physically assist him to
group Scott kicked and hit at the teacher when she approached
him. Whenever the teacher tried to engage or assist Scott to join
group (4 different times) he refused verbally with yelling (“I’m
not going to!” or “No, no, no”) and threw himself on the floor
and finally moved under the table.
· Peers followed teacher directions. No verbal or physical
interactions (hitting, throwing, etc.) occurred with peers.
Day 3 - 9:00-11:00 a.m.
Schedule of activities was the same as Day 1.
· During calendar Scott sat outside the group.
· Didn’t join in any center activities.
· 15 occurrences of verbal disruptions (e.g., shouting out,
humming, yelling, ”I’m going to hit you”) during the 2-hour
observation
· 1 occurrence of tantrum (i.e., threw himself on floor and
continued to scream and shout) with duration of 5 minutes.
· 3 physical threats (i.e., threw chair at another student who
wouldn’t give him the Legos; pushed child to get out the door,
threatened teacher with scissors (pointed scissors at teacher and
made a jabbing motion) when she reminded him to be careful.
· There were 5 verbal outbursts (yelling, screaming) and 2
