Study Notes
Cognitive Development Milestones
- Three- and four-year-olds typically understand the concept of past and present.
Speech Impairment
- A six-year-old's utterance "Yoot a de bue tain" (Look at the blue train) is indicative of a potential speech impairment.

Elementary School Learning
- Engaging in unstructured play and exploration is a key process for early elementary learning.
Literacy Development
- Exposure to rich conversations fosters vocabulary knowledge in young children.
Language Milestones Impact
- A student newly arrived from another country to the US with a speech sound disorder would experience challenges when learning English (specifically, accurately decoding words).
Developmental Delay
- A five-year-old who doesn't understand counting or sorting objects by color demonstrates a potential developmental delay.
Hearing Loss and Language
- A six-year-old with mixed hearing loss, struggling with hearing word endings, may face challenges with verb tenses and plural word forms.
Home Routine and Predictability
- Providing sample routines for parents to model and adapt to their child's needs will support the child's predictable schedule.
Social-Emotional Disorders in Ten-Year-Olds
- A ten-year-old with a social-emotional disorder may exhibit crying for long periods when separated from a caregiver.
Fluency Disorder and Academic Difficulties
- A nine-year-old with a fluency disorder may struggle with engaging in oral class discussions.
Trauma and Learning

Transition Planning
- Assessing a student's needs, strengths, preferences, and interests is essential for initial transition planning.
Special Education Assessments
- Obtaining written consent from the parent/guardian is a crucial step when requesting information from a psychiatrist during a special education assessment.
Intellectual Disability Assessment

Behavior Frequency Charts
- Behavior frequency charts can establish a baseline for a student's behavior.
Equitable Assessment Practices
- Using a variety of assessment sources and types ensures an equitable evaluation process.
Growth Model in Education
- A growth model evaluation incorporating multiple measures offers a more nuanced understanding of learning progress.
Screening Tools
- Screening tools identify when further assessment or intervention is needed.
Accommodations for Hearing Loss
- A sign language interpreter is the best accommodation for a student with hearing loss accessing state assessments.
Communicating Assessment Results
- Summarizing key information from assessment reports during eligibility meetings is the most effective communication.
Behavior Intervention Plans (BIP)
- Identifying acceptable alternative behaviors is a crucial step in developing a BIP for a student with emotional disabilities.
Terminating Special Education Services
- Obtaining parental/guardian consent for the full educational assessment is required before terminating special education services.
Multistep Instructions Accessibility
- A digital sequencing board is a helpful strategy for students needing support with multistep instructions.
IEP Meeting Preparation
- Providing written copies of assessment reports to parents/guardians at least three days before the IEP meeting.
Family Communication in IEP Meetings
- Arranging for an educational interpreter who understands assessment-related terminology supports the family.
Eligibility for Special Education
- The full assessment team's recommendations are the most crucial factor when deciding a student's eligibility for special education.
Language-Based Disabilities Identification
- Literacy instruction focusing on academic vocabulary effectively helps identify students needing language supports.
Special Education Service Risk Ratios
- Analyzing the risk ratio identifies any population disproportionately needing special education.
Related Services in LRE
- A speech language pathologist consulting with the classroom teacher on interventions is an example of related services in the least restrictive environment
IEP Progress Reports
- Documenting a student's progress toward annual IEP goals is a crucial step in creating progress reports.
IEP Team Collaboration
- Using a shared IEP document projected on a screen and collaboratively editing it improves collaboration.
Transition Planning for High School
- Inviting agencies supporting transition to adult life is essential for transition plans.
Student Placement Appropriateness
