The goals will be modified if those present determine the goals unachievable, or have already been

STUDENT INVOLEMENT IN ILP PREPARATION:
Noahs primary involvement involved goal setting. Noah told the ILP team that:
He wanted to take responsibility of his own learning;
He wanted to work on understanding and reading people better;
He wanted to manage his behaviour more appropriately.
TEACHER INVOLEMENT IN ILP:
Long term goals to be discussed regularly;

Short term goals to be discussed regularly;
Noah and teacher to discuss his progress together on a weekly basis.

ADMINISTRATIVE INVOLVEMENT IN ILP:
Request administration allow Noah to fill in his Medication Log Book;

Inform on-duty teachers/staff about Noahs objectives in the yard;
Ensure a stress ball is a part of the classroom resources (including co-curricular learning
environments such as Art, P.E.)

PARENT/GUARDIAN GOALS FOR HOME SUPPORT OF THE ILP:
Parent/Caregiver Involvement
Noah to assist his caregivers in getting his own medication at home;
Spend time talking about how they are feeling and what their facial expressions mean;
Remind Noah when he is interrupting a conversation or when someone else is speaking;
Aid Noah in spending some time sitting still whilst watching television, or conducting an activity
with them.
Proposed Discussion Timeline
A discussion about the ILP will be formally scheduled between the Learning Support Team,
and parents/caregivers, once per term;
The parents/caregivers and teacher will meet at the beginning and middle of each term;
Further discussions may occur more often than this if the parents/caregivers wish to
communicate with the teacher informally.
