Nathan is Intellectually Disabled

Nathan’s Accommodations are:

1. One on one- work on regulating emotions

2. Tools that he can use to improve his fine motor skills: such as a fatter pencil for
writing
3. Explicitly teach him social skills (and other skills he needs help on)
4. Adaptive behavior- Group him with kids that have empathy and who work well with
others
5. Allow him Extra time on assignments and Preferential seating near the teacher, so he
can be helped quickly

I would focus on regulation, tools to use, and social skills one on one
Tommy has an Emotional Disturbance (Disability)
Tommy’s Accommodations are:

1. Use positive behavior contract

2. Preferential seating to lower behaviors
3. Allow him Extra time on assignments
4. Set a purpose for every assignment
5. Read the questions on assignments and assessments out loud for him

(Since he is good at math you can accommodate him by allowing him to record ‘how
to’ videos to show he knows the standard.)

I would focus on setting a purpose for everything, reading questions and behavior
contract.

Steven’s Accommodations are:

1. Small group instruction

slowly wean him from this habit)
