Assignment: Case Study Component D: Supports and Accommodations
Return to the Matthew Case Study from Module 7 (Matthew Case Study Example of Anecdotal Record and ABC Analysis) and write the following IEP sections:
1. Supports, Accommodations and Modifications that will benefit Matthew.
2. Participation in classroom, state and district testing including accommodations that are recommended.
Example of Anecdotal Record and ABC Analysis
Matt, a 4th grade student, seems to react in a negative manner toward his peers. During his reading class, he pushed another student and said a sarcastic remark to his teacher when he was instructed to get his reading homework out to pass toward the front of the class.
Follow This Case
During this reading class, Matt’s teacher requested that the special education teacher observe to assist her with figuring out why Matt seemed to be having difficulty. The special education teacher completed an anecdotal recording.
Anecdotal Recording of Matt’s Behaviors
Matt entered the classroom. He went to his desk and talked to the student sitting next to him. The student responded. When the teacher requested that the students prepare for their oral reading period, Matt continued talking with his peer. The peer asked Matt to leave him alone.
Matt continued talking to the student and the student replied “Leave me alone. Stop talking. We are going to get into trouble.” At this point, Matt shoved the student. Peer repeats request. The teacher instructed the students to hand in their reading questions that were assigned for homework.
The peer told Matt, “Pay attention. Get your homework out.” At this point, Matt replied, “I didn’t do the stupid homework.” The peer laughs.
Analysis of Anecdotal Records
Once the anecdotal recording is completed, the teacher analyzes the behavior to determine the sequence of the behaviors and the consequences for those behaviors.
Review the anecdotal recording on the previous slide. Determine the antecedents (what occurred before the behavior), the behaviors, and the consequences of the behaviors.
Write each in the following format:
