That is one long IEP! I have a really long IEP on Thursday (with a really difficult parent), so if I am running really late, I will not come to class either. I will bring my assignment on Wednesday instead.

I believe Vanessa collected handouts for you. The class was much the same with demonstrations and handouts. There was a good summary sample for which we asked and received copies.

We got the Eco Assessment B page in class. Vanessa took a copy for you, but below please find the text I typed for Rose. We have to use the first Eco Assessment form and the one that shows where there is a discrepancy, potential adaptations or instructional needs, and instructional choices. One of the choices is IP#4. There are bonus points to do two versions (I did one very long TA with several different locations, so I am hoping it counts).

Email me if you have questions. I think you have my address.

Best,
Lesley


Eco Assessment Assignment (B)

1. Target one of two (extra credit) community or school activities for the student you are assessing. You will be conducting typical person inventories and target student discrepancy analyses for these activities. This well learn to at least one of your required instructional programs. The activities must be either new to the student or a situation where your student is not currently a successful participant.

2. Conduct a typical person inventory (ies) noting domain, environment, sub environment, natural cues, corrections, consequences, materials, performance criteria, and basic skills/academic skills. (Same as Ecological Assessment A, same form).

3. To complete the student repertoire inventory, take your target (case study) student through the activity one or more times. Be sure to note how the student does on each step and comment on what happened when not correct (didn't attend to natural cue but could do with gesture prompt, correct but took too long to meet natural performance criterion).

4. Conduct a discrepancy analysis
a. Compare the performance between your target student and typical student inventory
b. develop several adaptation hypotheses for each step where there was a discrepancy. Delinate what the teacher could do to modify materials or rules, use task analysis, and teaching technology to teach the skill/step, provide personal assistance, etc.
c. Select the adaptation hypothesis you feel has the most potential for success for each step where there was a discrepancy.

5. Delineate 2-3 objectives for this student based on the discrepancy analysis. One of these will be the target objective for Instructional Program 4.

6. Briefly summarize what you have learned about the student from this process.
