 The center has a written plan of action for the child and a 2023 copy of an Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP). The center has not received a copy of the updated Individual Education Plan (IEP) from parent. The staff has incorporated the plans into the daily schedule for the child. The child was exhibiting aggressive and inappropriate behavior. The child was hitting teachers and removing clothing. The child has episodes when he becomes deregulated and needs time to regulate his emotions. The center staff requested that the child have an assistant when attending the center to help support the child. The average attendance in the child's classroom was between 12 to 15 children with 3 teachers. Site supervisor and Master Teacher assist teachers with the child as needed. The center has provided evidence of efforts to support the child's needs and has offered parent referrals for family support programs.
