Standard Scores(SS): T-Scores

A standard score is another way to compare a student's performance to that of a standardized


sample. For example, if a student had a standard score of 110, their performance would be in the
“average” range.

Percentile Rank(PR):
Standard Scores:Percentile scores compare one student's scores with a group of students who took the test. For
example, aif student’s

75% of students who took the test.
T-scores:
A t-score reflections how many standard deviations a score is from the mean. For example, if a student obtains a t-score of 60, it
is one standard deviation above the norm.

Scaled Scores:
Performance on each subtest results in a scaled score and are then combined to form standard scores

Percentile Rank:
A percentile rank compares a student’s score with a group of students who took the same test. For example, if a student scored at
the 75th percentile on a test, the student performed better than 75% of the students who take the same test.

Teacher input obtained by Senaida Mehmedovic on 04/17/19 and 04/18/19 via a google forms
survey. Please see below for results.

Strengths:
▪ PK loves to learn!!! He is very eager and willing to work with others. He works very well
with adults and peers. He has very nice handwriting. He can write in complete sentences.
▪ PK shows kindness, promptness, has an infectious laugh, has basketball and tennis skills,
has good math fact skills, and always has a smile!
▪ PK is great at knowing what upcoming assignments are and when they are due. His writing
ability has greatly improved.
▪ PK has a very strong work ethic. His communication during class about content and
expectations is great as well.
▪ He is mostly cheerful, rarely shuts down as he works through tasks with his full effort, and
has a strong desire to please and work hard.

Areas of need:
▪ Reading comprehension, tracking during reading, Organization and understanding of
assignments, applying skills he has learned in reading to his everyday reading, support
with reading comprehension, math concepts, writing skills
▪ PK needs information delivered in a multi-sensory format, with ample opportunities for
repetition. He is good at pretending he understands so comprehension checks, frequently,
are required. Rote memorization is a strength. Understanding and discussing abstract
language, inferences, making logical predictions are all difficult. Explaining his point of
view or opinions can be difficult although he has been making gains in this area this year
▪ PK works with a reading specialist each day before school. They work on keeping up with
(and discussing) reading assignments for class (book clubs) and reading skills. He also
works with someone one-on-one during math class. Two days a week he works on speech.
▪ PK has difficulty with spatial reasoning. It is hard for him to receive and carry out
instructions including words like left, right, behind, around, etc.
▪ PK takes a bit of time to make connections and feel comfortable sharing ideas. Once he
does, he really opens up and talks a lot! He has been working on developing his social
skills this year and is making great strides in being comfortable talking with his peers. A
good portion of this learning for him takes place via observations of other interactions,
sometimes during work time.

Occupational Therapy Domain:

The Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile is a self-report questionnaire. It is designed to promote


self-evaluation of behavioral responses to everyday sensory experiences. It provides a standard
method for professionals and individuals to measure and to profile the effect of sensory
processing on functional performance. An individual answers questions regarding how he or she
generally responds to sensations, as opposed to how he or she responds at any given time. This
enables the instrument to capture the more stable and enduring sensory processing preferences of
an individual.

According to the Sensory Profile PK has high scores (More Than Most People) in the area of
Low Registration. His Sensation Sensitivity and Sensory Avoiding score fell within the Similar
to Most People classification. His Sensation Seeking score fell in the Less Than Most People
Classification.

The Protocol for Accommodations in Reading (PAR) is a formative assessment tool that can
be used with any student that is struggling with reading; it is intended to help educators make
informed decisions about reading accommodations. It contains questions that measure various
aspects of reading comprehension (i.e. main idea, facts, inferences, and vocabulary) and students
are required to orally respond. Senaida Mehmedovic administered the probes on 04/17/19 and
04/26/19.

The Test of Everyday Reading Comprehension (TERC) measures how well a person
understands what they read in everyday life. For example, is their reading good enough to order
lunch from a canteen menu? Can they read the instructions on a medicine bottle well enough to
take the right number of tablets? Senaida Mehmedovic administered the probe on 04/22/19.

Aimsweb MAZE measures sentence level comprehension by having students circle the word

Cognitive and Adaptive Behavior Domain:

Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Fifth Edition (WISC-V) is an individually


administered intelligence test for children that provides a measure of a child’s overall cognitive
ability. Senaida Mehmedovic administered the assessment on 05/06/19 and 05/09/19. It is
important to note that the FSIQ is the most accurate reflection of overall cognitive abilities and
that any analysis beyond this score is not empirically supported.

Full Scale Intelligence Quotient (FSIQ) score reflects overall cognitive ability. PK’s overall
performance was in the Significantly Below Average Range (SS=52, PR=.1), which suggests
that PK’s cognitive abilities may hinder his learning.

General Ability (GAI) score reflects overall cognitive abilities, with processing speed and
working memory measures removed. PK’s overall performance was in the Moderately Below
Average Range (SS=56, PR=.2), which suggests that PK’s cognitive abilities may hinder his
learning.

The Vineland-Third Edition (Vineland-3) is a standardized measure of adaptive behavior--the


things that people do to function in their everyday lives. Whereas ability measures focus on what
the examinee can do in a testing situation, the Vineland-3 focuses on what he or she actually
does in daily life. Because it is a norm-based instrument, the examinee's adaptive functioning is
compared to that of others his or her age. Please see below for the standard scores.

PK’s general education teachers CK, WS, and SH completed the form on 04/19/19; AE, reading
teacher, completed the form on 04/25/19; Ms. PK, PK’s mother, completed the form 05/09/19—
part of the form was started with Ms. Nelson, High School Psychologist, and the rest was
completed by Ms. PK at home.
