        Difficulties: Getting an outside diagnosis requires funding which not all school districts can provide. It can also be challenging to get the parents and educators to agree to a consistent plan. This is why communication and relationship-building is paramount in supporting any struggling student.
        
        Implement IEP and keep lines of communication with parents and learning specialist open. Work with the student, their family, and fellow teachers to create a consistent learning environment. Share what works for the student and continue to communicate positive and negative outcomes to the family. Document benchmarks.
        
        The IEP
        team should assess the IEP annually to determine if benchmarks are being met and make any necessary adjustments.
      - No
        
        Continue to monitor student and consider creating a learning plan for the student regardless.
