Case Study: Sherri
Order Description
Sherri has always found writing very difficult since she was in kindergarten. She was recently diagnosed with a learning disability in expressive writing. Now that
Sherri is in the fourth grade, whenever it is “Writing Time,” she avoids getting started. She, takes much longer than the other students because Sherri just can’t
decide what to write. In addition, Sherri’s handwriting is not very legible and her spelling often does not make sense.
Furthermore, Sherri’s academic struggles are now also negatively impacting her behavior. She sits with her head down or acts out in order to be asked to leave the
class leading to problems with her writing progress. After meeting with the other teachers and Sherri’s mother, they decided to talk with the school’s special
education director to see what can be done to help improve Sherri’s writing as well as her avoidance behaviors.
