ISSUE(S) TO BE ADDRESSED:

When Nathan becomes frustrated with school assignments, he becomes physical by throwing chairs,
knocking over chairs or will run and hide in the classroom or run out of the classroom. He will challenge
authority as he refuses to come back to his seat or the classroom.

His speech is below the norm, equal to that of a three year old. As a result it is difficult to understand what
he wants which may contribute to his frustrations.

In social situations, he becomes overwhelmed and takes out his frustrations on other children by pinching
or hitting.
