Mental, Social, Physical, Social Notes:
- There is one student with Autism, she can learn easily but struggles
interacting with others.
- There are two students who struggle with controlling their anger. One of the
students can learn quickly but also gets very frustrated and overwhelmed
which leads to anger outbursts. The other student has a hard time staying
focused and when he cant stay on task he acts out in negative ways, he has
also been diagnosed with ADHD.
- 5 of the students are LD, which means they have learning disabilities. This
term means that the student has a problem learning in one or more areas
caused by brain dysfunction, other disabilities, a brain injury, or even
developmental aphasia (lack of language abilities).
- 2 students are considered to have multiple disabilities. That is, these students
have two or more disabilities, often a combination of physical and mental
challenges.
Entry Competencies:
Students usually know some parts of the basic life skills, they need help grasping the
different concepts and actually acting out the different actions needed. They know
what brushing their teeth and putting on clothes is, they just dont know how to act
out those actions in their own life without assistance.
Students in this classroom are here to learn a strong foundation, they dont
necessarily have one coming into the classroom.
Learning Styles:
Different learning styles in the classroom include: Visual, Auditory, lots of hands on
activities.
Students with Special needs, ranging from 5-7.5 usually learn best through with
technology when its presented as visuals, song and dance, videos, interactive
games, things they can actually picture/see/and hear. It is important for them to make

connections and interactions.
