IEP Present Levels of Performance (PLOP)

IEP Present Levels of Performance - What is your child able to do?

Unit Objectives for Present Levels of Performance.

By the end of this unit, you will be able to:

- Accurately answer the question, "What kinds of information should be included in a Present Levels of Performance (PLOP) statement?"

- List at least 3 types of data that should be included in a child's PLOP statement.

- Construct an objective, positive Present Levels of Performance statement for your child.

- List four steps to writing an objective, positive Present Levels of Performance statement.

Here is a sample PLOP statement: "Y.C. is a bright, outgoing child who socializes easily with other children. She is able to read on grade level and eagerly participates in classroom activities, loves drawing, and enjoys looking at photographs in books. Y.C. has a visual learning style and is an active child. Conversely, Y.C. struggles with mathematics and has not mastered addition or subtraction facts. She tests at a 1.0 grade level on the WIAT Mathematics Computation section. Y.C. is energetic and distractible. She is fairly easy to get back on track for brief periods, but requires constant redirecting. Visual aids can be used to keep her attention on learning tasks."

Through this statement, IEP team members would be able to provide a program that uses Y.C.'s visual abilities, energetic nature, and social skills to actively teach mathematical computation skills.

Let's look at the pieces that make a good Present Level of Performance Statement...
