The school team devised an elaborate note card system for data collection. My son is being tasked with this data collection. I’m not sure how to address this with the team.
Background: my son has significant executive functioning deficits. At his last IEP meeting a couple weeks ago, his executive functioning goal was changed to “When provided fading supports (visual, verbal, gestural), student will use his executive function skills to complete academic tasks in the classroom and tutoring room, for 80% accuracy, over three consecutive weeks, as measured by running records.” The objectives for this goal are broken down to initiating, sequencing, executing, and prioritizing the academic tasks.
The school has him using a daily note card to record assignments each day. It’s organized by class period.He writes his assignments next to each class period number. The current note card system has been successful and he uses it. The new card system has pictures one side and the letters P E S I next to each class period. I think he’s supposed to circle a letter for the executive function task he is working on or did or something.I’m actually not sure what he’s supposed to do with this and he is unable to explain it.
I understand that they have to collect data, but they are tasking him with it. I feel like this burdens him with an additional executive functioning task. They tried to say that this is for him to 'self monitor'. But, self monitoring is not part of his executive functioning goals. I’m not sure what to ask or how to address this.
