Joey’s PLAAFP
Another example: Sally’s specific learning disability and ADHD dx impact
her independent reading comprehension in the general education
curriculum and her attention in the classroom. Sally takes Ritalin to
manage her ADHD symptoms during the school day. She has good
comprehension if the story is read to her, but is unable to decode
independently. Her parents report that she gets frustrated easily at
home when attempting to do her reading homework, but she enjoys
being read to at bedtime. Sally did not meet proficiency on the 3rd and
4th grade MCA reading tests, therefore, may not achieve proficiency on
grade-level standards during this school year. Sally improved her
reading NWEA MAP score from Fall 2010 (1%) to Spring 2011 (10%). On
classroom weekly assessments, Sally is able to perform at approximately
80% accuracy when they are read to her. Classroom teacher reports that
Sally gets frustrated easily when she is unable to read an unknown word
and does not use decoding strategies. Sally says she likes to read about
ocean life but feels reading is hard for her.
