Gail Reese Parental perspective October 2019

Samara is a 10-year old student who suffers from emotional and behavioral issues. She has

been to CPEP many times and has had some significant behavioral issues at home. Samara

receives counseling two times per week with some success. It is my request Samara be in a

small classroom with less students and more adults receiving daily therapeutic counseling at a

day treatment center.

Samara has made very slow academic progress FY1718 and 1819 and current year. Her ability

to focus on a task and to retain information is limited. She suffers from short-term memory loss

due to the trauma she has sustained. Samara benefits from repetition. Her independent in

reading/comprehension is on a second/third grade level. Samara really enjoys writing fantasy

and making up stories/songs (usually about heartache and trauma). She does have difficulty

telling a story with a beginning, middle and an ending. Samara is very easily distracted and

tends to go off on tangents with difficulty following through with a thought and repeatedly

starting over. In math, she is working on second/third grade level. Samara benefits from the

predictability of math. She is working on money skills that would be a good life skill for her to

have. Samara does enjoy learning Science. She took an interest in the Moon phases in

October. Rewards and consequence mean nothing to her. Due to her life circumstance in her

formative years. She has zero self-regulation and cannot tell if she is acting behaving

appropriately and often feels targeted and picked on because of this. She struggles to manage

her frustrations. She can be aggressive and has been known to charge or threaten violence.

Samara is currently working below grade level in all academic areas. During the school day, she

does little academic work. When she does attend to academic work, she is able to complete

basic math problems. Samara has a good handle on addition and subtraction. She is also able

to do basic multiplication. Samara is also able to read and answer comprehension questions at

the second/third grade level with minimal support. Samara needs continuous support to

attend to academics. She needs constant modeling, reassurance, and encouragement

throughout the task. Even with support, Samara will refuse to try to do work. For these

reasons, it is my request Samara be placed in a small classroom with less students and more

adults receiving daily therapeutic counseling at a day treatment center for the remainder of this

school year.
