Background Information

Relevant Medical/Diagnostic Information:

Simon has been diagnosed with a global developmental delay, of unknown origin.

Medical report on file.

He presents with severe delays in all areas of adaptive functioning, with the greatest delay in the communication and social domains.

The biggest concern is that Simon is not aware of his environment and places himself in a number of dangerous situations. The latest incident occurred when Simon left the school during the middle of the school day and wandered onto the road.

He has had seizures, but currently these are under control without medication.

Other Information:

Language Spoken: English

Agencies Involved: Children’s Special Services

School History (from pertinent Cumulative File Information):

Domain: Social

Current Level of Performance:

Simon greets people inconsistently. He is echolaic, and will repeat words and phrases he has heard. He needs a verbal cue to make eye contact when speaking to others.

Domain: Motor

Current Level of Performance:

Simon demonstrates average ability in gross motor skills, as noted in formal testing (see P.T./OT report June 1998)

His greatest area of concern is in following directions and visually attending to an activity during gross motor play. In the fine motor area, Simon is right-hand dominant and demonstrates a mature grasp pattern with utensils, i.e. pencil, scissors and paint brush. He has below average ability with activities that require eye hand coordination or bilateral coordination. He is able to match all letters of the alphabet, using both upper and lower case. He does not identify any letters upon request. He is only able to print the following letters of the alphabet; a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, m, n, o, s, t,. He does not stay on the line (baseline samples on file), and does not visually attend to his work. Simon enjoys puzzles and demonstrates average ability in this area. He is quite interested in the computer and enjoys concrete question/answer type programs.

Student Specific Outcome:
Simon will print all of the letters of the alphabet, demonstrating satisfactory formation (the identity of each letter should be obvious), on 9/ 10 samples by the end of June.

1. By the end of October, Simon will be able to print the letters

j, k, l, p, with satisfactory formation, on

9 / 10 times samples

Gradual sequence of letter writing from tracing, copying over broken letters, following mazes in shape of letters, to independent printing with proper formation.

Domain: Self Management

Current Level of Performance:

Simon is able to able to undress and dress independently but requires assistance with all fasteners (zippers, snaps, buttons). He has a tendency to tug at the fastener until it comes apart, or his clothing is ripped. He will not attempt to do up fasteners. Simon does not visually attend to this activity, nor use his hands in a coordinated fashion. He is able to use the toilet, he is time trained and requires a regular schedule to insure success. He can complete all aspects of the toileting routine with supervision to stay on task. He stays for lunch at school and does not require any assistance with this activity of daily living. He readily puts away materials he has used in the class, and likes everything in the correct spot.
