What is your nightmare?
Ivan- Lightning & Spongebob Karin- Passages (An center
for institutionalized children) Dave- Misunderstood- That
he’d be labeled and dismissed
Marcus- His friends would be in far away places
Both parents initial fear was that he’d be “taken or kidnapped.” Their primary fears were the same as a parent with a child without a disability.

Recommendations
Let Ivan & family know the “plan” in advance-school day, etc
Include Ms. Hoff on future IEP team
Have IEP team meet before new school year and within 4 weeks to assess new environment
Create self-monitoring strategy for Ivan to use to track his behavioral goals
Para support for writing & math
Continue to provide services within classroom as long as his needs are able to be met
