Hello..please help me wriiiiite this report..

Instructions..

• Be concise
  • more pages does not equal more points
  • you do not have to explain medical procedures within the report. the report is for the parents and they already know and understand why the procedure was needed
• Objective/Subjective
• "Normal" only applies to hearing & vision
  • DO NOT USE IT TO DESCRIBE A TYPICALLY DEVELOPING CHILD
    • "atypical" v "typical"
      • DO NOT COMPARE CHILD TO A DIFFERENT CHILD
• refer back to the information that was gathered through RIOT
• validity/reliability placed before the test results
  • place under test administered
    • NEW THING
• Recommendations
  • MUST be relative!!
• quotations are not a must, but referring back to the information gathered IS a must

The purpose of the report is a full evaluation on the child. It is the paper that summarized all of the findings throughout the assessment process. It is a paper given to parents and MDT/IEP team to help make further decisions regarding the child's education/quality of life.

The report is important! It should be concise, objective, and accurate. The evaluation of the assessment data evidently show where the student is performing and where the student needs to be.

• Concise

more pages do not equate to a higher score on your report.

if your paper is twentyy paggggges long, it is TOO LONG. most papers should be about 11 pages long.

think of it as opaqueness! we want bright, vibrant papers. not long ones.

QUALITY OVER QUANTITY

you cannot show any bias in the report. at all.

be explicitly clear about what you are talking about. "jack did not like" v "jack shook his head and shouted when we..."

do not assume! you need to explain exactly what happened.

you will be docked if you are subjective.

When talking about children with disabilities in your report, you may need to draw a clear line through what is typical v atypical in a developing child. NEVER COMPARE and NEVER say a typical child is "normal." This is disrepectful to the student with a disability. You will be docked if you do thiiiiiiiis.

RIOT is the information you are basing your evaluation from. You have no credibility unless you refer back to it!

When you are evaluating and writing your report, include citations from your findings to increase your credibility.

Validity/reliability

What a statement about validity/reliability during the testing should be listed

where this should be placed under the test results

why this gives a disclaimer to the assessment data gathered and shows us the true picture of the student

New: This is a new thing implemented this semester! You will not find it on rubrics.

MUST BE RELATIVE

• Sometimes its hard to come up with 3 recommendations. You may want to write something random and get it over with. Please don't do thisssssss. Please be genuine in your recommendation to the MDT/IEP team about this student!
• not a must...don't over use quotations from Samara. You may use them when needed/appropriate, but do not have every other sentence be a direct quote.
• drawing from RIOT is ...draw from what Samara says!

"Samara stated..."

"Samara said..."

"Samara explained...."

"Samara......"

• General Statement of Functioning
• Data
  • percentile
• Compare sources & give explanation/support
• Implication statement (2-3 sent MAX)
  • what's implied
  • end with consequence
• List medical things that have happened in the past
  • surgeries
  • diagnosis
  • testing
• Do NOT explain what the medical things are
  • no explanations of what the surgery is, just the surgery name
