Case Study
Mrs. Smith has been teaching kindergarten for 6 years. Currently, her class includes 28 students. More than half this class consists of boys. This proved to be a challenging year for Mrs. Smith. Joseph is one of the boys in Mrs. Smith’s class. He is one of the younger students in the class and is very immature. He has been diagnosed with ADHD and takes medicine daily to help him concentrate while in the classroom.

The parents have contacted Mrs. Smith individually to discuss the dynamics of the divorce and recommendations for interactions with each parent in the future. Both parents have requested separate emails or communication based on the progress of Joseph in the classroom. Both parents refuse to attend school functions together.

When Mrs. Smith provides prompts to Joseph, he immediately shuts down and refuses to respond. His interactions are always attention based and he acts out to get a reaction from other students or adults. Joseph sits in his own space to eliminate distractions from other students. Joseph is a very smart student, but struggles to complete any assignment. He has to take it home or finish it during his recess time. Mrs. Smith has pulled Joseph aside several times to talk about his behavior and need for attention. She has reached out to both parents and tends to get very little assistance from either one.
Mrs. Smith recently started a new individualized learning program for Joseph. She asked the school psychologist to come in and observe Joseph’s behavior.

Mrs. Smith developed two visual representations for Joseph’s plan. One visual representation was a folder that broke down each subject of the day. On the folder, Mrs. Smith added visual cues
