reported that her difficulties with mathematics and ELA were first
noticed in grade one. Harlea participated in a pull out reading program
two periods a week in grade one to try and help her catch up with her
difficulties in pronunciation and reading fluency. Her mother recalled
that the pull out program seemed to help but she still continues to
struggle with her reading fluency. Christi stated that she does try to
help Harlea complete her homework and have her practice reading at
home, but it is a struggle since she does not enjoy it. She will often get
angry and give up on it within half an hour and her assignments will
remain unfinished. Her teacher also observed this behavior when she
has kept Harlea in the classroom at lunch to finish her math and ELA
work. She reported that Harleas marks are significantly lower in math
and ELA than in her other subjects, which can be partially attributed to
her refusal to complete work, lack of foundational knowledge in these
subject areas, and her inability to focus in class. Her teacher also
described how Harlea experiences difficulty with writing proper
grammatical sentences and would make a significant number of
spelling errors.
Previous Assessment and Treatment History
Harleas mother and teacher both reported that Harlea has not
received any previous assessment or treatment for her academic and
behavioral issues.
