In age appropriate activities like greeting others, expressive language, articulation, expressive/ receptive language and receptive language areas. This difficulty limits Ruvy in social development. As a cause of this frustration he will engage in weird behaviors such as making noises and mumbling to himself in front of a mirror. When involved in a small group activity that he can do, Ruvy enjoys it and is able to complete the task.
Accommodations or Modifications: Ruvy requires a Seit for 10 hrs a week, PT 3x30, OT 3x30 and speech for 3x30. Ruvy requires structured day that has designated times for open-ended activities.

There are nine children in the class whom receive services, ranging from Seits to OT, PT and speech. The classroom runs on Pre-K curriculum and the Common Core method.
