Present Levels of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance (PLAAFP) for Nizar
Student Information: Nizar is a third grader at Barbara Cockrell Elementary who meets the criteria for Specific Learning Disabilities in Basic Reading and Speech Impairment (articulation).
Academic Achievement:
Reading: Nizar demonstrates reading comprehension skills at a Kindergarten level (iReady 120L, BAS level C). He struggles with understanding fundamental reading concepts such as phonemic awareness, phonics, and word recognition, which significantly impacts his ability to engage with grade-level reading materials. Nizar can answer explicit text-based questions with 73% accuracy (3 out of 4 questions) after read-alouds or controlled texts, utilizing strategies such as chunking assignments, clarification, and oral administration. Despite showing strength in vocabulary and informational text, he averages only 33% in weekly reading comprehension assessments, indicating a need for additional support in this area.
Math: In mathematics, Nizar operates at a 2nd grade level in Calculation and Computation. He can accurately solve problems involving addition and subtraction within 10 and 20 with an 80% success rate, as evidenced by teacher assessments and daily assignments. However, he faces challenges with grade-level math tasks due to inattention to detail and difficulties with multi-step calculations, achieving only a 20% success rate in these areas. Supports such as the use of a 100s chart, oral administration, and chunking of assignments are necessary for him to access the curriculum effectively.
Functional Performance: Nizar's disabilities in reading and math significantly hinder his ability to make reasonable and meaningful progress in the general education curriculum. His challenges with inattention and auditory processing further complicate his learning experiences, particularly in following classroom instructions and engaging with complex tasks.
Summary: Nizar requires targeted interventions and accommodations to support his learning in reading comprehension and math calculation and computation, ensuring he can access the curriculum and achieve academic success.
