11. Case Study Michelle is an experienced teacher that currently teaches at a Kindergarten to Grade Four School. Michelle’s class consists of 26 students, which contains 16 boys and 10 girls. What makes Michelle’s class more complex then her previous classroom is, that over half of the children are diagnosed by a doctor to have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or fall on the Autism Spectrum. With 14 students on an Individual Program Plan (IPP) for their learning needs, Michelle has a consistent battle to keep her students on task.
