Order Instructions:

Please use the guidelines below to write the paper. Also, please know that I have permission from the instructor to make up the child, so the information can be fictional, but still needs to believable and supported by research. Lastly, I am going to upload the scoring guide. Please do not hesitate if there are any questions.

Assignment Description

For this assignment, select a student in your school or classroom to whom you have access. Consider selecting a student in the elementary grades as you will be investigating how the student was initially referred and evaluated for special education services. Those records are most readily available earlier in the process. You will select the same student throughout the course to complete your project.

The child you select must have:

A mild to moderate disability.

A current IEP on file.

Academic problems in school.

Note:

Be sure to obtain written permission from the student's parent or guardian to access the student's records and conduct assessments and observations on the student for your course project.

Remember to remove any identifying information about your selected student.

If you do not have access to a student in your school or district as required in the course prerequisite, please consult with your faculty member as quickly as possible to arrange an equitable, alternative assignment.
