What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Multimethod/multisource approach
Person-centered planning: the IEP team begins the IEP process by creating a “vision” for the student’s future. Student input is vital to the success of this process.
Strength-based assessment: a reaction against the deficit-oriented model common in traditional assessment approaches. It is based on the assumption that all children and youth have strengths and that deficits are not static.
Functional behavioral assessment: acknowledges that students engage in inappropriate behavior for multiple reasons. By identifying the antecedents to problematic behavior, the teacher can then take a preventive or proactive approach to intervention.
