Consider Pedro
Think back to Pedro, who:
Attended kindergarten and first grade in Puerto Rico
Was identified with an autism spectrum disorder and speech-language disorder in U.S. schools
Receives a majority of his instruction in the general education classroom
Has behavioral challenges that can get in the way of his learning
Has intermediate academic English skills, and sometimes uses a bilingual dictionary in the classroom
Now, contemplate these questions for a moment ...
In which quadrant do you think Pedro’s needs would place him?
What should be considered in that decision?
