Teacher Observations:
C.L. is a very kind child who always wants to do his best. He has a medical diagnosis of ADD and currently takes medication. Although this provides some control, C.L. still needs support to perform to his best ability in the academic setting. C.L. gets very anxious when he is unsure of what to do. This can cause him to become emotional and upset. C.L. will benefit from a consistent environment at school. These accommodations have been successful this year and will help to ease C.L.’s transition to a new school.
