Group 3: • Recommended Services: Ensure service recommendations align explicitly with documented student needs. • Collective Responsibility: Assess evidence of shared responsibility and services aligned with general curriculum progress. • Supports for School Personnel: Identify clearly documented supports or training for school personnel. • Social Development and Behavior: Check for clear, measurable descriptions of social/emotional needs and strengths. © 2025 WISSAM NASR.
