[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I would think that executive function challenges could be either behavioral or academic, depending on how they manifest[/quote]

OP: Yes - I think of "behavioral" as related to the way student is acting (e.g. melting down in tears is a behavior)  DC's executive function challenges are more academic, e.g. cognitive fluidity (ability to go back and forth in levels of generalization - seeing both the forest [i]and[/i] the trees) and need to use active working memory strategies

Executive Function as behavioral vs academic was just one example.  I'd also like to understand why "written language" in the old IEP became "written language expression" in the new.  In some cases it makes sense but in others I think "written language mechanics" would be more accurate - but I only know it's an option to distinguish them because of the graphic on page 241 of the users guide.

At the parent workshop sessions they were very clear that the long lists of accommodations and supports in the sample IEP handout weren't to be used as "laundry lists".  I can see why they might have wanted to avoid distributing these lists but I don't see a reason to keep the drop down lists for the present level wizard secret.  [/quote]

Have you just called the central office and asked for them? [/quote]
