CASE STUDY: Bobby is a 12-year-old student who was diagnosed with severe mental
retardation and orthopedic impairments at the age of 4. Bobby was born as a normal,
healthy baby. While on vacation with his family at the age of 4, Bobby had his first
seizure. Although Bobby was rushed to a hospital by his parents, it took hours before
the seizure was stopped by medical professionals. The result of this seizure was severe
brain injury. Bobby does not have the ability to verbally communicate his wants and
needs. His parents have moved him from his neighborhood school where Bobby spent
his elementary school years misunderstood and frustrated. His parents now have turned
to a specialized school hopeful that their son will receive the care and education they
believe he deserves and needs.
Bobby's need for special education services is quite obvious, so what is the purpose of
completing an individualized assessment of Bobby? Discuss some of the authentic
forms of assessment and explain which one you feel would be the most informative in
providing some insight on Bobby's strengths and limitations for both professionals and
his parents.

CASE STUDY: Mrs. Martinez has just accepted a new position at Forest Grove Middle
School. She was hired to serve students with special needs in grades 6 through 8. Forest
Grove's philosophy is that separate is better in regard to their delivery of services for
students with special needs. Mrs. Martinez is a strong advocate for inclusive practices
and collaborative professional partnerships. Through discussions with her new
co-workers, she has discovered that many of the teachers, paraeducators, and related
service professionals feel that it is time for a change in the school's philosophy. Mrs.
Martinez has been nominated by her co-workers to present the idea of developing a
more collaborative community among the teachers to the principal, Mrs. Jones, in order
to begin the process of integrating students with special needs into the general
education classroom.
Mrs. Jones argues that the school is already a "collaborative school" because the
teachers have weekly staff meetings, and they have common planning periods every
two weeks if they need them. Explain how these activities are not truly collaborative
interactions, and provide an example of a professional collaborative interaction.

either been asked to leave or has been removed from the school by her mother. Tia has a
long history of verbal outbursts with school professionals and severe periods of
depression and withdrawal. Tia"s mother and sister report she has frequent verbal
outbursts at home and has become violent on a few occasions. Due to the years of
negative experiences with school professionals, Tia is no longer in school. She feels
very rejected as a human being by teachers and peers because of her disorder. As a
result, her self-esteem, self-efficacy, and her motivation are practically nonexistent. Tia
states that she does want an education but will not participate in a traditional school
setting any longer. Although she does not have a history of violent behavior in school,
she does use offensive language when upset or when she feels threatened by a teacher.
