This four year old student has extreme behavior problems. He was first enrolled at a daycare center where services were to include him in an inclusive environment. The student could not tolerate the number of children in the classroom so services were moved to a site where he would be by himself with two adults. After he was acclimated, the process to transfer him to an inclusive setting began. During this particular visit, he has begun to use verbalizations and despite being in a new classroom and having observers, he has a wonderful day. He is making decisions with pictures, participating in circle activities, and vestibular stimuli.

Sometimes our evaluations are done in inconvenient places. At this center, there is no quiet spot, just some not so busy places. In this visit, I am trying for the second time to get some information on a student. She is very quiet when she does talk, so it is difficult to hear and understand her. Many students come and go wanting to play.

The same situation shows up here. I am doing an actual evaluation that keeps getting interrupted.

After screenings, we try to schedule evaluations to do arena style. The school psych, speech/language pathologist, and occupational therapist try to get together at a regularly scheduled time to evaluate children.
