One observation is a moment. Three sources are a pattern.

Log each piece of evidence with where it came from. The summary shows which skills of inhibitory control the evidence agrees on, where it conflicts, and which methods you have not used yet.

Drawn for this page. Inhibitory control is the pause between the urge and the response.

How to use it

  1. Write the team’s question first, in one or two sentences.
  2. Add every piece of evidence as it comes in, in plain words, with its method and source.
  3. Mark whether each piece points to a concern; use mixed honestly.
  4. List the other explanations the team is weighing.
  5. Read the summary before the team meeting and fill the missing methods.

What the organizer covers

Why converge

IDEA requires a variety of assessment tools and strategies, and no single measure as the sole basis for a decision. A concern that shows up in an observation, an interview and work samples, from more than one person, is far stronger than one rating or one bad morning.

Look-alikes

Calling out and rushing can come from weak inhibitory control, but also from language difficulties, anxiety, poor sleep, boredom with work that is too easy, or a class with few routines. The organizer keeps those on the table.

What it is not

It does not score tests, compare with norms or decide eligibility or a diagnosis. Enter findings as the examiner reported them.
