assessment and intervention
Background of the student.. (for first part of part one of the project)
Romeos spoken language at home is Spanish but he is fluent in social English/Spanish. We had the chance to speak with his mother and she didn't seem to have difficulty speaking English as well. In the beginning of the course, we received a basic overview of who Romeo is. Romeo has autism, asthma, and gets frustrated easily.
His needs were written as comprehension and reading, language arts.
His strengths and interests are drawing and playing sports.
Things that I have observed personally with Romeo is that he's very enthusiastic. He likes to talk a lot and join the discussions during class time. He does have trouble with writing/spelling thus a better time expressing his thoughts verbally than he does in writing.
Since our classroom is largely based on discussion and a lot of talking, it works for the better since it gives him more flexibility with doing his work while still having fun and talking about what to write. He's a real joy to be with and very sweet!
