PRESENT LEVEL OF ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AND FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE
Student Name: Eli Smith________________________________________________ Date____/____/____ Page ___of___
Student ID Number_____________________________________________________
The Present Level of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance summarize the results of assessments that identify
the student’s interests, preferences, strengths and areas of need, including assistive technology and/or accessible materials. It
also describes the effect of the student’s disability on his or her involvement and progress in the general education curriculum,
and for preschool children, as appropriate, how the disability affects the student’s participation in appropriate activities. This
includes the student’s performance and achievement in academic areas such as writing, reading, mathematics, science, and
history/social sciences. It also includes the student’s performance in functional areas, such as self-determination, social
competence, communication, behavior and personal management. Test scores, if included, should be self-explanatory or an
explanation should be included, and the Present Level of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance should be
written in objective measurable terms, to the extent possible. There should be a direct relationship among the desired goals,
the Present Level of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance, and all other components of the IEP.

Student’s Strengths, Preferences, and Interests
Elli Smith is a cheerful 8-year-old girl currently entering the 2nd grade. Elli was found eligible for service for Specific
Learning Disability. Elli loves school, her friends, enjoys art and anything craft related. She works hard and always
seems ready for a challenge.Elli also has asthma and needs access to her inhaler, as well as regular check-ins with the school
nurse. According to the psychological evaluation, Elli demonstrates an overall ability in the average range. She demonstrates
substantially less developed long-term retrieval associative memory and auditory processing, specifically phonemic
awareness. These relative weaknesses coupled with difficulties in the aspect of auditory processing, such as phonemic
awareness, which is the understanding of the smallest units of sound (phonemes), might make the acquisition of reading
difficult. Also, the spelling of unfamiliar words might also prove to be a challenging task. Elli’s social functioning, as
assessed through rating scales, teacher interviews, and direct observation appears to be a challenging at times, but not a major
concern. According to achievement assessment, Elli demonstrates average oral language skills, mathematics and written
expression in the low average range with significant deficient range. Teacher reports indicate that Elli demonstrates an
independent reading level of pre-primer 1. Her auditory comprehension is very good, but her word attack is very poor. She
has received PALS remediation and Title I supports for reading for a period of 6 months and has made very minimal progress
despite supplemental instruction interventions targeting her identified areas of deficit.
Student’s Areas of Need (Deficits that Require Supports)
Elli’s areas of need resulting from her disability related deficits include:
Decoding
Reading
Spelling
Written language
Prolonged or moderate/heavy physical activity (Asthma) Medical aspect, not related to the
SLD category.
Effect of Disability on Student
Elli demonstrates substantially less developed long-term retrieval, associative memory, and
auditory processing, specifically phonemic awareness. These relative weaknesses coupled with
difficulties in aspects of auditory processing, such as phonemic awareness, which is the
understanding of the smallest units of sound (phonemes), makes the acquisition of reading
difficult as well as the spelling of unfamiliar words.

Teacher Educational Information
Reading instructional level (1st); independent level (Readiness); Elli’s comprehension is good as
long as it is tested orally. She can recall story elements and information when the story is read to
her. Her word attack skills are extremely limited. She knows sounds when they are isolated but
has difficulty putting the sounds together. Her retention of words (sight words) is very weak. She
is currently receiving Title 1 and Pals Remediation, but she has made very little growth.
Language instructional level (below grade level); She has memorized certain sentence structures
and adapts it to the current topic. Elli is an excellent speller, but she cannot read the words she is
spelling. She memorizes the spelling features. Math: She is very good at adding and subtracting
and has caught on well to the strategies she has been taught. She does a great job deciding which
operation should be used and then working out a word problem. Social Studies and Science: Elli
does very well in both classes. Movement Ed.: She follows directions and does all activities;
seems to get along with everyone during class and seems to enjoy PE. She does need access to
her inhaler during PE and recess, as well as regular check-ins with the school nurse. She appears
to love Art and Library and works well with other students.

Least Restrictive Environment (LRE)
When discussing the least restrictive environment and placement options, the following must be considered:
To the maximum extent appropriate, the student is educated with children without disabilities.
Special classes, separate schooling or other removal of the student from the regular educational environment occurs only
when the nature or severity of the disability is such that education in regular classes with the use of supplementary aids
and services cannot be achieved satisfactorily.
The student’s placement should be as close as possible to the child’s home and unless the IEP of the student with a
disability requires some other arrangement, the student is educated in the school that he or she would attend if he or she
did not have a disability.
In selecting the LRE, consideration is given to any potential harmful effect on the student or on the quality of services that
he/she needs.
The student with a disability shall be served in a program with age-appropriate peers unless it can be shown that for a
particular student with a disability, the alternative placement is appropriate as documented by the IEP.
Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE)
When discussing FAPE for this student, it is important for the IEP team to remember that FAPE may include, as appropriate:
Educational Programs and Services
Proper Functioning of Hearing Aids
Assistive Technology and/or accessible
materials
Transportation
Nonacademic and Extracurricular Services and Activities

assistive technology and/or accessible materials, supports for personnel*, accommodations and/or modifications* and

PLACEMENT
No single model for the delivery of services to any population or category of children with disabilities is acceptable for
meeting the requirement for a continuum of alternative placements. All placement decisions shall be based on the individual
needs of each student. The team may consider placement options in conjunction with discussing any needed supplementary
aids and services, accommodations/modifications, assistive technology and/or accessible materials, and supports for school
personnel. In considering the placement continuum options, check those the team discussed. Then, describe the placement
selected in the PLACEMENT DECISION section below. Determination of the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) and
placement may be one or a combination of options along the continuum.
PLACEMENT CONTINUUM OPTIONS CONSIDERED: (check all that have been considered):

Based upon identified services and the consideration of least restrictive environment (LRE) and placement continuum
options, describe in the space below the placement. Additionally, summarize the discussions and decision around LRE and
placement. This must include an explanation of why the student will not be participating with students without disabilities in
the general education class(es), programs, and activities. Attach additional pages as needed.
Explanation of Placement Decision:
Elli must spend at least 60 minutes a day in the Special Education classroom to work with the special education teacher. They
will work on accommodations and modifications as well as individualized instruction to help Elli with her measurable goals
included in her IEP. She will be in the general education classroom as much as possible to be with classmates.
