Form I-4 (Rev. 11/2016)
JAMAICA SCHOOL DISTRICT
Name of Student ____Keesha Hawkins___________________ WISEid __654321_ LEA’s Student ID_5648-9657_
I. INFORMATION ABOUT THE STUDENT, INCLUDING PRESENT LEVELS OF ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AND FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE
|Information about the student, including strengths, effects of the disability / special factors, present level of academic achievement and functional|
|performance, and any concerns must be considered when identifying the student’s disability-related needs and developing goals and services to address|
|those needs. Include strategies that have been effective in improving the student’s academic achievement and functional performance and access to |
|general education. |
|Parents are important members of the IEP team and are encouraged to share information throughout the process. The student should be included, |
|whenever appropriate, and encouraged to provide input throughout the process. |
A. Strengths
Describe the student’s strengths (including academic skills, communication skills, social skills, and interests).
Keesha is a bright and cheerful girl starting the 9th grade this year. She has positive relationships with both peers and teachers, and her interpersonal skills are high. She also excels academically, achieving a 3.7 grade point average in her 8th grade school year. Keesha is a hard worker, participates well in class, and turns her work in on time.
B. Current Academic Achievement and Functional Performance
|Academic achievement generally refers to a student’s performance in academic content areas (e.g., reading, math, written language, etc.). For |
|preschool children, academic achievement generally refers to knowledge and skills such as early language development/communication, early literacy, |
|cognition and general knowledge. Academic achievement statements must include information about student achievement and/or progress compared to |
|grade-level expectations. Sources of information may include state, district-wide, or classroom assessments, rubrics, screeners or other tools (refer|
|to the Evaluation Report, ER-1). The present levels provided must include sufficient information to establish a baseline from which each annual goal |
|is developed. |
1. Describe the student’s present level of academic achievement (including reading achievement). For preschool children, describe the child’s acquisition and use of knowledge and skills (including early language/communication and early literacy).
Reading: Keesha’s spring 2016 MAP score for reading was a 231, 11 points above the norm; and on her FORWARD exam during the same testing period, she scored a 732 for English/Language Arts, which is in the Advanced range for her grade level. Her Lexile reading score puts her at a 12th grade reading level. Keesha enjoys reading and participates well in class, volunteering to read and answer comprehension questions.
Writing/Language Arts: Keesha’s Spring 2016 MAP score for English/Language Arts was a 224, 5 points above the norm. Her FORWARD exam score for the same period was a 732, in the Advanced range. Her Language Arts scores show that Keesha does well with reading, comprehension, gathering information, and summarizing complex ideas from her readings. Keesha struggles in the act of writing. Her Obsessive Compulsive Disorder forces her to write, erase, and rewrite her letters over and over until her paper rips. She is able to successfully complete written responses with a word processor or an assistant who writes her words down for her.
Science: Keesha’s spring 2016 MAP score for Science was a 215, 2 points above the norm for her grade level, and her FORWARD exam score was a 609, which is in the Proficient range. Keesha very much enjoys Science, and participates well in class, contributing to labs and group work during class time. She is not able to write her own notes or complete written work independently because of her OCD in writing letters.
Form I-4 Name of Student _______Keesha Hawkins___________________ Page _____ of _____
|Functional performance includes activities and nonacademic skills needed for independence, access to instruction and performance at school, in the |
|home, in the community, for leisure time, and for post-secondary and lifelong learning. Some examples include: activities of everyday living, |
|school/work/play habits, and social-emotional behavior (refer to the Evaluation Report, ER-1). The present levels provided must include sufficient |
|information to establish a baseline from which each annual goal is developed. |
2. Describe the student’s present level of functional performance (including impact on reading achievement and access to instruction). For preschool children, describe the child's positive social-emotional skills (including social relationships) and use of appropriate behaviors to meet their needs and the impact on early literacy.
Functional Behavior: Keesha is a very capable student who participates in small and large groups during class, communicates well with peers and teachers, and follows basic classroom rules and procedures. She is respectful and polite. She is organized, keeps track of her materials, and turns in her work on time. During the 2015-2016 school year, she recorded 4 absences. Keesha does become frustrated easily when her handwriting and OCD become a problem. She does not always advocate for herself with teachers when she needs help with written work, and this can lead to sadness and frustration, and uncompleted work.
C. Special Factors
|Special Factors must be considered when developing the individualized education program. The services required to address the needs related to the |
|special factors should be documented in the Program Summary. For example, if a student’s behavior impedes learning, the positive behavioral |
|interventions, strategies, and supports could include specially designed instruction, related services, supplementary aids and services and/or program |
|modifications and supports for staff. The behavioral needs of the student may be determined through a functional behavioral assessment (FBA). |
1. Does the student’s behavior impede his/her learning or that of others?
( Yes □ No
If yes, describe how (document needed services in the Program Summary):
Keesha’s obsession with perfect handwriting impedes her ability to take notes, focus on lectures and discussions, or complete written work or tests independently.
2. Is the student an English Language Learner (ELL)?
□ Yes ( No
If yes, describe how this factor affects the student’s needs related to the IEP:
3. In the case of a child who is blind or visually impaired, does the student need instruction in Braille or the use of Braille? (Attach Determining Braille Needs (ER-3) from the latest evaluation/reevaluation or any updated information.)
( Not Applicable □ Yes □ No □ Cannot be determined at this time
If yes, describe needs, including Braille needs:
4. Does the student have communication needs that could impede his/her learning?
□ Yes ( No
a. If yes, describe the communication needs (including speech and language needs):
b. If the student is deaf or hard of hearing, describe (a) the student’s language and communication needs; (b) opportunities for direct communication with peers and professional personnel in the student’s language and communication mode; and, (c) academic level and full range of needs including opportunities for direct instruction in the student’s language and communicative mode:
Form I-4 Name of Student ______Keesha Hawkins___________________ Page _____ of _____
5. Does the student need assistive technology services or devices, including any services or devices needed to assist with reading?
( Yes □ No
If yes, describe the needs (document needed services in the Program Summary):
Keesha should use a word processor for written tasks as much as possible, and can also use an audio recording device to record lectures for playing back later.
D. Concerns of the Parent(s)/Family
1. Describe the concerns of the parent(s)/family for enhancing the education of the student. This may include concerns about reading achievement, early language/communication or early literacy skills, other academic areas, social-emotional needs, sensory needs, behavior, the child’s future and postsecondary transition, etc.:
Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins are concerned that Keesha’s OCD will get in the way of her succeeding in upcoming higher level, tougher High School classes that require more note-taking and written work. They want to see her advocate for herself more by asking teachers for help, or asking classmates for copies of notes, etc.
2. Describe the concerns (if any) of the student for enhancing his or her education:
Keesha is concerned that her OCD makes her different from her peers, and states that she does not want to draw attention to herself by asking for notes or other help during class.
E. Effects of Disability
|Review Need for Special Education in the Evaluation Report (ER-1) for information about the student’s disability-related needs. |
1. Does the student’s disability adversely affect his or her progress toward meeting grade-level reading standards? For preschoolers, does the disability adversely affect progress toward the Wisconsin Model Early Learning Standards (WMELS) for language development, communication and/or early literacy?
□ Yes ( No
2. Describe how the student’s disability affects his or her access, involvement and progress in the general education curriculum, including how the disability affects reading. For preschool children, describe how the disability affects participation in age-appropriate activities, including language development, communication and/or early literacy.
Keesha’s Obsessive/Compulsive Disorder affects her ability to complete written work. She is not able to fully focus on lectures because of her obsession with handwriting and the effort expelled in erasing and re-writing her letters. She is not able to complete written work or tests independently due to her compulsion. Her disability does not affect her reading.
Form I-4 Name of Student ____Keesha Hawkins___________________ Page _____ of _____

Participation Guidelines for Alternate Assessment
Form I-7-A (Rev. 9/15)
Name of Student Keesha Hawkins
IEP teams are responsible for deciding whether students with disabilities will participate in general education assessments with or without testing accommodations, or in the alternate assessment with or without accommodations.1 In a given year, a student must participate in either all general education assessments or all alternate assessments, not parts of both.
|Participation Criterion |Participation Criterion Descriptors |Agree (Yes) or |
| | |Disagree (No)? |
|1. The student has a significant cognitive |Review of student record indicates a disability (i.e. Autism, Intellectual |Yes / No |
|disability. |Disability, or Traumatic Brain Injury) that significantly impacts intellectual | |
| |functioning and adaptive behavior. Adaptive behavior is defined as essential | |
| |for someone to live independently and to function safely in daily life. | |
|2. The student is primarily being |Goals listed in the IEP for this student are linked to the enrolled grade level|Yes / No |
|instructed using the Wisconsin Essential |Wisconsin Essential Elements and address knowledge and skills that are | |
|Elements. |appropriate and challenging for this student. | |
|3. The student requires extensive direct |The student |Yes / No |
|individualized instruction and substantial |requires extensive, repeated, individualized instruction and support that is | |
|supports to achieve measureable gains in |not of a temporary nature and | |
|the grade-and age-appropriate curriculum. |uses substantially adapted materials and individualized methods of accessing | |
| |information in alternative ways to acquire, maintain, generalize, demonstrate | |
| |and transfer skills across multiple settings. | |
When the IEP team concurs that all three of the criteria above accurately characterize a student’s current educational situation, an alternate assessment should be used to provide a meaningful evaluation of the student’s current academic achievement.
|The IEP team determined the student must participate in alternate assessments. |Yes / No |
Decisions for determining participation in the alternate assessment must not be based solely on any of the following:
1. A disability category or label
2. Poor attendance or extended absences
3. Native language/social/cultural or economic difference
4. Expected poor performance on the general education assessment

PARTICIPATION IN DISTRICT-WIDE ASSESSMENTS district-wide assessments
Form I-7 District-wide Assessment (Rev. 10/2016)
Name of Student__Keesha Hawkins______
District-wide assessments are tests given at the district level and can apply to students in all grade levels (4K-12). District wide assessments include the high school civics test requirement and the assessment for reading readiness.
Students with disabilities must be included in district-wide assessments unless the IEP team determines that an alternate to the district-wide assessment is appropriate. Alternate assessments are intended only for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities. If the student will be taking an alternate assessment, the I-7-A Participation Guidelines for Alternate Assessment () must be included with the IEP.

IEP Case Study Summary Paper
Sara Hendrickson
The case study I chose for this IEP assignment was for Keesha Hawkins, a bright 9th grade student who has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in the area of writing. Keesha has a compulsion to write, erase, and rewrite her letters over and over until her paper rips from the overuse. The only information I was given in this case study had to do with Keesha’s regular education science teacher, who didn’t like to be bothered with or make accommodations for special education students, and her special education teacher, who tried to advocate for the simple services that Keesha needed to be successful. Those services included the use of a computer for her to complete written work on when possible, extended time for tests, and a student note taker during class lectures. She also asked that she be notified a day in advance of written worksheets so that an assistant could attend class and assist Keesha in completing the work. The science teacher refused to make these accommodations, and Keesha ended up being moved into a different general science class.
Based on the information given in this case study, I made the assumptions that the parents of Keesha were involved in her education and concerned for her school success, and so would attend the IEP meeting. Keesha is being seen by a psychiatrist, who I made sure to invite to the meeting also. A professional would be able to give us a better insight into OCD in general, and also to Keesha’s specific disorder and what steps and accommodations would best help her succeed.
As far as I can tell in this case study, Keesha’s strengths and academic achievement/functional performance are fairly high. It does say in the communication form that she has “superior intelligence and reads at the twelfth-grade level”, which led me to make up some pretty high scores for her on the MAP and FORWARD exams. I assumed that she enjoyed class, listened and participated well, and worked well with her peers. She is a responsible and respectful 9th grader. I showed that the only area that Keesha struggles with is her OCD and the task of writing. This affects her ability to function in class by impeding her ability to take notes during lectures and discussions, and to complete any written work or tests. It also impedes her ability to listen and pay attention during those lectures, because she is so obsessed with perfecting those letters and smoothing out corners, erasing and rewriting numerous times until the paper rips and she has missed all of the information anyway. Keesha’s parents are concerned that she will not be able to handle the tougher caseload that High School classes bring while managing her disorder, and wish for her to advocate for herself more. Keesha is concerned that her disorder sets her apart from her peers and is afraid of unwanted attention being drawn to her because of her extra support.
In the Summary of Disability-Related Needs, I wanted to make sure that Keesha’s emotional state was protected, as a disorder like this is obviously taxing, especially in front of a young girl’s peers. I listed a need for emotional management to help her to learn how to deal with the frustration that this disorder brings her. I also listed a need for self-advocacy, because in the case study Keesha sat in her desk and continued to struggle with the erasing and rewriting until tears ran down her face and yet she did not ask for assistance. The teacher finally called her up to the desk, and still she only told him she couldn’t do the writing. She did not know how to ask for the accommodations that she needed in order to complete the task. Lastly I added a need for written work completion. Although Keesha is academically able to do the work asked of her, the actual writing is where her disability manifests itself.
At our school district, students manage their schoolwork and assignments in an online program called Canvas. Keesha’s parents could also have access to this program to “observe” her work and grades throughout the year. Teachers in my program also call or email at least weekly with updates on behaviors and progress, etc. Official reports come at the end of trimesters, and at the Annual IEP Review at the end of the IEP term. Keesha will also participate fully in the general education curriculum, as she is at or above grade level expectations academically.
The goals for Keesha is where things started to get tricky, of course. I didn’t feel like I could do a specific writing goal, because as I said, even though writing is the problem, academically she is more than capable of doing the work. Her OCD is an emotional disorder, and so I chose to focus on more functional/emotional goals.
In Goal #1 I wanted to get to the ground floor of what Keesha is dealing with, and that is her feelings and emotions. Because she is under the care of a psychiatrist, I assume she is working on this with them also. If that were the case, I would attempt to be in contact with that person, or hope that they would attend the IEP meeting so that I could more closely focus the goal on what they are working on. As it is, I decided to write a somewhat general goal about managing her feelings. In the case study it showed that Keesha attempted to do the written work asked of her, but her OCD took over and she sat working on it, with tears in her eyes. So I came up with 2 objectives to help her recognize her frustration and manage her feelings. In the first one, I just want her to work on recognizing and identifying her feelings so that she can describe them to her teacher. This could be done during an OCD moment, but also during a random moment during her school day. The goal is for her to just know what different emotions look and feel like, and recognize them in herself. In the second objective I wanted her to take this a step further, and use a pre-designed list of strategies to choose from when she gets frustrated or her OCD starts to kick in. I chose to stagger these to be completed in each of the second and third trimesters this year so she would have time to practice them before moving on to the next step. This goal aligns with the first need listed in the Summary of Disability-Related Needs, which is emotional frustration and management. This goal will be measured by using a daily progress sheet that Keesha will take to each of her classes during the day. The teachers will be asked to document whether Keesha struggled with her OCD, described her feelings (this need not be done every class, or every day!), or used a strategy to manage frustration during class.
In Goal #2 I wanted Keesha to start to use self-advocacy skills, and begin to recognize her state of mind and ask for the help she needs in an age-appropriate way. Currently, when Keesha had a problem with written work during class, she just sat there and kept trying, getting nowhere but more and more upset. With these objectives, I wanted to give Keesha the chance to learn to ask for the help she needs. In the first objective I wrote that Keesha will start to ask her teacher for help when written work is required in class. In the case study it shows that with at least one day’s notice, a special education assistant will attend class with Keesha to complete the worksheets with her, but we all know that sometimes things don’t happen according to plan, and I want her to be able to make her needs known to a teacher who may not think of it first. The second objective is for Keesha to ask a peer for assistance in notetaking or another necessary task during class. If her regular note taker is absent for some reason, she will need to ask someone else to complete that task for her. I want her to be comfortable doing this, and have the words to say when needed.
In the Program Summary I added the Supplementary Aids and Services that were listed in the case study, and I added one of my own. Keesha will be able to use a word processor, such as a laptop computer or Chromebook, for as much written work as possible. She will receive extended time to complete her tests when written answers are required because she will need assistance in completing those. During lectures she will have a student who takes notes for her using special carbon paper so that they only have to tear a sheet off for her at the end of class. She also will have access to an audio recorder so that she can record the lectures and discussions to play back and listen to later. This is another way she can have access to the information without having to write anything. Lastly, she will have a special education assistant available to her on days when there are worksheets or other written work required in class that she is not able to do on her word processor. All of these services will be provided in the regular education classrooms and on an as-needed basis. The only Related Services needed for Keesha are the assistive technology aids already described, such as her word processor and audio recorder.
Keesha will participate with nondisabled peers in the regular education curriculum, in the regular education classroom, with some assistance from special education services. Keesha’s academics show that she is perfectly able to succeed at grade level, and will participate in District-wide assessments and state-wide assessments with her peers, with the extra time allotted for tests, and a word processor available for written work.
