Case 2

The student has a great deal of difficulty organizing his/her work, a tendency to procrastinate, starts many tasks before finishing them, has difficulty prioritizing tasks and summarizing information, etc.

Case 3

The student has difficulty interacting with teachers, families, patients, other professionals, or other students (lack of empathy, irritability, use of inappropriately complex vocabulary, lack of self-reflection, inappropriate comments, etc.)

Case 4
