Case Study: Ana

9^th grade, Age 14

Background Information

Ana’s mother, who became pregnant while in high school, is a single parent who completed her GED after Ana’s birth. Her mother works full-time. Ana’s parent never married and her biological father has had very limited contact with her. Ana has no siblings, but does have two male same-age cousins. Her mother wants Ana to finish school, as she wants her to be different from other family members.

Medical Information

Ana had delayed physical growth from second grade to eighth grade. Her mother took her to a physician during that time and no medical problems were reported. She has received regular medical check-ups with no noted medical concerns and no significant medical history.

School History

Ana entered kindergarten at age 5 after one year of preschool as a model student in the developmental preschool program at the neighborhood school. Her daycare was provided by her maternal grandmother prior to starting kindergarten. Ana has attended schools in her grandmother’s neighborhood and has had no grade retentions.

Attendance

Ana has missed an average of 10 days of school from grades K through 7. She had 50 days of absence in grade 8 and missed the first several weeks of grade 9. Ana has had no disciplinary referrals in any grades up to present time.

Grade 8 (last academic year)

Ana was absent at least 1 day per week starting mid-first quarter in the eighth grade. Her absences increased to two or more each week by winter break. By this time, a pattern of tardiness to school in the morning also began. Ana’s mother reported to the guidance counselor, “She’s refusing to get up in the mornings…lags in getting dressed…complains of tiredness and lethargy.” Ana then arranged to stay in the guidance office to complete work independently, two hours per day in the afternoon.

Soon she was absent as many days as she attended and by April, Ana rarely attended school at all.

Grade 9 (current academic year)

Ana’s physical growth seems to have stopped. At 5’1”, Ana is petite and smaller than most of her peers. She attended the first two days of classes, and then did not attend again for two weeks. She is interested in playing high school sports. She has trouble making friends and keeping connections with peers, but does like teachers and converses easily with them. She has no behavior problems or referrals. She does have trouble completing homework and keeping up with notes in classes and has failing grades in several classes.

Testing and Evaluation

Ana was given both verbal (WISC) and non-verbal (UNIT) IQ testing. Both tests placed her in the average intelligence range with an IQ of 105.

Woodcock-Johnson III Tests of Achievement

Please see attachment.

Classroom Teacher Input

Ana’s English teacher reports that Ana is able to write complete sentences, but is unable to complete a paragraph that follows the topic sentence. She often spells words incorrectly on her final draft. Additionally, she has difficulty sounding out words, which affects her reading fluency and her reading comprehension. Currently, Ana can independently read a seventh grade text with 80% comprehension. According to a teacher given reading inventory, Ana reads 40WPM correctly at a seventh grade level.

Interventions Prior to Special Education Referral

• Attendance secretary makes daily calls to home
• 1-to-1 sessions with guidance counselor
• Building consultation team
• Schedule changes
• Truancy petition to Juvenile Court Intake
• Small group instruction for reading
• Small group instruction for writing
• Extended time to complete writing tasks

Reason for Referral

Ana has an escalating pattern of absenteeism, decreasing socialization with peers at school and in the community, has failing grades, and very low self-acceptance/self-concept.

Prompt: For this short paper, you will explore alternative approaches to counterterrorism. Over the years, counterterrorism experts have categorized counterterrorism approaches in five different categories. These categories include coercive, proactive, persuasive, defensive, and long term. For many years, the American strategy has been primarily coercive in nature. However, it is important to understand that a certain degree of overlap exists (by design) among these approaches, and that a more effective and comprehensive strategy would encompass approaches from many if not all of the five categories.

For this assignment, you will choose two approaches from categories other than “coercive.” Specifically, you will address the following critical elements:

 How can these two approaches be used to complement the United States’ current use of the coercive approach?

 When should these approaches be used and how?

 What are the benefits of these approaches, and how do these benefits counterbalance the negatives from the coercive approach?

There are no right or wrong answers. The goal of this assignment is to make a valid argument and support it with scholarly facts and resources. You must consider how implementing numerous complementary approaches to counterterrorism can ultimately lead to a more comprehensive strategy.

Rubric Guidelines for Submission: Your paper should be a 3- to 5-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and at least two sources cited in APA format.

I have attached the rubric to this question for you reference and also for clarification on what specifically needs to be addressed. Thank you!
