Present Levels of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance: I. Sources of Information: In developing Hunters Present Level of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance (PLAAFP), the following data sources were reviewed: STAR Reading Test, DIBELS, Individual Evaluation of Strengths/Weaknesses/Areas of Focus, teacher information, progress monitoring (multiplication facts 0-12), and Hunters 2012-2013 IEP. II. Impact of Disability: Hunters weaknesses in the area(s) of: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Primarily Inattentive ADHD (previously referred to as ADD) will affect his involvement and progress in the general education curriculum in the following way: Hunter has difficulty attending to tasks, assignments, and activities for sustained, extensive periods of time. Due to his Primarily Inattentive Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Hunter becomes easily distracted by external stimuli (i.e. peers, background noise, etc.) and struggles to keep sustained attention to lessons and assignments in settings prone to background noise and activity. Hunter also becomes easily distracted by external stimuli, often attending to sights and sounds easily ignored by his peers. Furthermore, Hunters Primarily Inattentive Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder results in difficulty finishing and completing in class assignments and projects which require sustained concentration. Hunter frequently shifts his attention between uncompleted activities rather than attending to and completing one activity before starting another. In addition, Hunters work habits prove disorganized and often result in him forgetting to complete important tasks and assignments on time. Furthermore, Hunters tendenc y to frequently shift his attention from one activity to another may impair his social interactions with his peers and adults; specifically, Hunters inattentiveness may result in Hunter not listening to instructions, not engaging in two-way conversations, and not attending to details and rules important in specific social activities and situations. Also, Hunters avoidance patterns (i.e. procrastination in the form of storytelling and conversation) also interfere with his ability to complete tasks and assignments in the general education classroom and often result in reprimand for distracting other students. III. Student Strengths, Preferences, Interests: Based on collected and reviewed data, Hunters strengths, preferences, and interests include: Hunter is highly linguistic and demonstrates a well-developed ability to express his ideas and thoughts verbally. (English Language Arts and Reading 110.15.28) When writing and speaking, Hunter demonstrates an ability to insert sophisticated and advanced vocabulary terms into appropriate contexts. (English Language Arts and Reading, 110.15.2B) Hunter proves an influential classroom leader in the general education classroom setting. The other students often model Hunters behavior and respect his opinions and ideas. Hunter demonstrates a well-developed ability to use technology efficiently and productively in the general education classroom setting (i.e. Netbooks, iPads, etc.). (Technology Applications, 126.7.1A) Hunter is highly inquisitive and is able to articulate astute, relevant questions during lessons and assignments. Hunters ability to formulate analytical questions in response to new content or material improves the conceptual understanding of the entire classroom as he models high level, inquisitive thinking skills for his classmates. (English Language Arts and Reading, 110.15.27A) Hunters creativity allows him to produce unique, innovative, and original responses in the general classroom setting. Hunte r never struggles to produce imaginative work that reflects his individuality. Hunters resourcefulness lends itself especially well to open-ended tasks, creative writing assignments, and project-work. (English Language Arts and Reading, 110.15.17) Hunter shows a special interest in geography and social studies content. During geography and social studies lessons, Hunter rarely struggles to remain engaged and mentally involved in the assignments and activities. Hunter continuously demonstrates an advanced understanding of maps, direction, and location, allowing him to engage in above-grade-level tasks and assignments. (Social Studies, 113.15.6A) Hunter reads numbers with accuracy and precision; Hunters number sense is well developed and he can ord er numerical quantities with confidence and accuracy. (Mathematics, 111.16.4.1A)

IV. Weaknesses: Based on collected and reviewed data, Hunters areas of weakness/need include: Hunter struggles with organizational skills. His inattentiveness often causes him to misplace assignments, papers, and materials (i.e. books, pencils, etc.) and his inability to sustain attention to details makes establishing and implementing organizational routines and procedures a challenge. Hunter struggles to attend to small details and frequently shifts his attention from one incomplete task to another, often causing him to forget about important directions, guidelines, and deadlines. Hunter has difficulty sustaining attention during the reading of long passages of text, often resulting in poor or incomplete comprehension of the text. Hunter also struggles with discerning important details within a text, resulting often in an incomplete understanding of the plot of the text and difficulty in extracting the big idea or over all message of the text. (English Language Arts and Reading, 110.15.6A, 110.15.9, 110.15.11A) While Hunter comprehends spoken and conversational language, he becomes easily distracted when listening to extensive texts, causing him to struggle in recalling and comprehending stories read aloud to him. (English Language Arts and Reading, 110.15.3A , 110.15.27B) Hunter also struggles with discerning the literal from the abstract. This difficulty proves especially challenging in his reading and comprehension of text, especially since his high reading level exposes him to complex texts with abstract themes and ideas. (English Language Arts and Reading 110.15.2D) Though Hunter demonstrates mastery over the memorization of his multiplication facts, the conceptual understanding of mathematical operations such as multiplication and division (i.e. in word problems) remains an area of weakness. (Mathematics, 111.16.4.4, 111.16.4.14B, 111.16.4.14C) Hunters avoidance patterns prove a hindrance in the completion of written assignments. While Hunter can readily articulate his thoughts and ideas in great detail verbally, he often uses storytelling as an avoidance strategy to stall transferring his spoken words onto paper. Extensive writing tasks prove daunting for Hunter since they require prolonged concentration and attention to detail; as a result, he often uses avoidance techniques to procrastinate working on written assignments. (English Language Arts and Reading, 110.15.15, 110.15.16) Hunter also struggles with correctly solving word problems. The format of word problems forces Hunter to discern relevant details from the text and transfer these details into mathematical operations and procedures. Hunters weakness in attending to details interferes with his ability to correctly solve word problems; although Hunter may understand the mathematical operations, his difficulty in identifying and attending to significant details often results in a misunderstanding of the word problem. (Mathematics, 111.16.4.14B, 111.16.4.14C) V. Accommodations, Modifications, and Supports: Taking into consideration the impact of Hunters Inattentive Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (Inattentive ADHD) and Hunters areas of need, the following related services, supplemental aids, accommodations, and/or supports may be needed to attain the annual goal(s) and make progress in the general education curriculum: Graphic organizers to help Hunter attend to details while reading texts. Allow Hunter to break up extensive reading assignments into smaller sections with breaks in between. Provide Hunter with verbal reminders to concentrate and ignore external stimuli in the classroom setting. Allow Hunter to use word-processing technology (i.e. Netbooks, iPads, etc.) to type extensive written responses instead of handwriting extensive written responses. Provide Hunter with a planner or other organizational tool to keep track of important deadlines and assignments. Establish an individual organizational plan for Hunter to keep track of and turn in important papers (i.e. homework, in-class assignments, projects, etc.). Provide Hunter with an advanced organizer for the days lessons and planned activities in order to keep him organized and on task. Provide Hunter with individual instruction exploring abstract ideas and conceptual understandings to support his inquisitive nature. Allow Hunter opportunities to prepare oral presentations or complete other alternative forms of assessment instead of written papers to support his creative strengths and reduce the amount of extensive writing required for outside projects. When needed, provide Hunter with an alternative seat within the general education classroom that is distanced from external stimuli (i.e. a quiet spot away from the door, win dow, peers, etc.) during individual tasks and assignments.
