Section 2: Reason for Referral
Student struggles in reading and writing and math are causing issues with her math. Tasia struggles
with making predictions and generating ideas. She struggles with identifying the main. She also
struggles with identifying important ideas in the text including the main idea. She struggles with
organizing information in logical sequences which may be affecting her ability to understand word
problems in math.
Section 3: Student Background Information
Tasia was born prematurely to teen parents. lived beginning of her life with paternal grandmother
(until 3 years of age). Living situation after was very unstable resulting in multiple school placements
within one academic year. Attended a licensed preschool in her early years, but had several language
delays which resulted in major behavioral outburst. Behaviors are still prevalent as the student has
been in-school suspended several times for defiance and destruction of property. Tasia loves to dance
and dramatic arts but has expressed disdain for school and seat work. Has minimal positive social
interactions and relationships; has one best friend.

Section 4: Testing Session Behavior
Tasia engaged in normal conversation for her age during the test. She was very uncooperative and at times was
impulsive and careless in responding. She would not attempt any task deemed difficult and often became
worried and tense. She was very distracted. This could be a result of the type of test questions and her inability
to understand can connect verbal ideas.

Section 7: Summary of Strengths and Needs:
Taisa has very strong letter- word identification skills and is reading fluently. Her letter word
identification skills aid her in spelling and writing samples. If we could teach her strategies in reading
as we do in math, that may aid her comprehension skills. She would benefit from small group and
participating in dramatic play to enhance comprehension skills and aid in determining purpose and
audience. A small group in math and developing a clear conceptual understanding in math may aid
her math fluency and applied problems.

Section 8: Recommendations
Areas that may require special education/support services (bold all that apply):
Mathematics
Reading
Physical Education
Written Language
Other:
Self-Help Skills
Math and reading​- Small Group or one-on-one instruction. Continue Tier 2 instruction. The
individual support will build her math fluency and improve her comprehension skills.
Written Languag​e- Sentence Frames. Allow the student to use sentence frames when writing about
the text to help determine the purpose and audience. This can be done whole class as all students can
benefit from sentence frames.
Self-Help Skills​-Cool down. Allow Tasia to have a chance to cool down before she becomes defiant or
destructive. Allow her to go get some water and time in an area where she feels safe.
Physical Education​- Drama/ dance class. Allow Tasia to participate in dance or drama as a part of
emotional therapy and self-expression. Incorporate Reader’s Theater into lessons and allow dramatic
play when applicable.
