Macie's First "Report Card"

It's actually called "Report of Progress on Annual Goals".
The purpose of the report is to describe the IEP (individual education program) goal update process that they use across the district.

I wish our scanner worked, would be so much easier than typing it all out, but I am too proud to not share right away :-)


Goal #1:  By Jan. 2012, Macie will match any 5 identical items (e.g. inset puzzles, toys, objects, or pictures across 4/5 attempts
Report of Progress:  Completed!!!
Additional comments:  Met for a variety of objects and pictures.

By Sept. 2012, Macie will sort similar colors and shapes for 10 different colors or shapes give models (e.g. given re, blue, and green bowls and a pile of re, blue, and green bears, the child sorts the items by color) across 4/5 attempts
Report of Progress:  Making expected progress!!!


Goal #2:  By Jan. 2012, Macie will search for missing or corresponding toy or parts of a set for 5 items or sets (e.g. a puzzle piece, a ball for a drop in toy, a bottle for a baby doll) across 4/5 play occasions.
Report of Progress:  Completed!!!
Additional Comments:  Met for preferred puzzles, baby doll activities, a ball for a drop toy, nesting cups, and matching activities.

By Sept. 2012, Macie will assemble toys and independently play with toys that have multiple parts for 5 different sets of materials (i.e. Mr. potato head, Little People sets, cooties bugs, etc.) across 4/5 play occasions
Report of Progress:  Making expected progress!!!


Goal #3:  By Jan. 2012, Macie will imitate 1 gross motor movement when prompted "do this" (e.g. clap hands, raising arms, rolling fists, patting lap, stomping feet) across 4/5 occasions.
Report of Progress:  Completed!!!
Additional Comments:  Met for clapping hands, rolling fists.

By Sept. 2012, Macie will imitate 20 multi step movements of any type (fine, gross, imitation with objects, imitation with people) across 4/5 occasions.
Report of Progress:  Making expected progress



Goal #4:  By Jan. 2012, Macie will identify 5 novel pictures of common objects, preferred toys, actions or people with 80% accuracy given fading, visual, or verbal cues.
Report of Progress:  Not making expected progress  :-(

By Sept. 2012, Macie will identify (find ___, give me___, point to___) 15 novel pictures of common objects, preferred toys, actions, or people in a field of 2-3 pictures with 80% accuracy given fading visual, or verbal cues.
Report of Progress:  Not making expected progress  :-(
Additional comments:  First introduced receptive skills with photos of family members.  We will continue the task but switch to pictures of functional items that she uses every day.

I talked with her teachers' about this, and they feel Macie knows who we are, but they get the feeling that she is not understanding why she should have to tell them something she already knows.  This is also a large component to communication, and she's definitely struggling in this area.


Goal #5:  By Jan. 2012, Macie will use verbal (i.e. single word utterances), or nonverbal language (i.e. signs, PECS) to mand (request) during classroom routines or activities at least 5X a day for 3 consecutive days given fading adult visual or verbal cues.
Report of Progress:  Completed!!!
Additional Comments:  Met for at lease 5X when PECS book is placed in front of her, primarily at a learning session and at snack.  Taking ownership of her book and carrying it around is an emerging skill.

By Sept. 2012, Macie will use verbal, or nonverbal language to mand during classroom routines or activities at least 20X a day for 3 consecutive days.
Report of Progress:  Making expected progress!!!



Goal #6:  By 9/12 Macie will demonstrate the ability to sustain in visual attention to hold scissors and paper in a thumb up position to cut within 1/4 inch of a line with visual prompts.
Report of Progress:  Making expected progress!!!
Additional Comments:  Macie picks up small loop scissors independently and maintains functional scissor grasp after occasional physical assistance.  She cuts on 3-4 inch lines on construction paper strip.


Goal #7:  By 9/12 Macie will make progress toward coordinating movements to perform complex tasks by demonstrating the ability to sustain visual attention and body awareness to use a mature grasp pattern when holding a writing tool to imitate then copy vertical, horizontal and circle writing strokes with visual prompts.
Report of Progress:  Making expected progress!!!
Additional comments:  Macie is doing well with imitating vertical and horizontal lines.  Imitating circle is emerging, she continues to work on consistent closed circles.  Macie also continues to work on consistent functional grasp on the writing tool.


We are definitely very pleased with the progress Macie has made in the short time (4 months) that she has been in school.
