When we want to see how well we’re helping students with different needs, we can look at a few important things. Here are some key ways to check on their progress:

1. Academic Progress: Pay attention to how students are doing in their classes. We can use tests, quizzes, and notes we take while watching them to see if they are reaching their learning targets.

2. Behavioral Improvements: Look for changes in how students behave. We can use simple lists or charts to keep track of their actions and see if they're growing socially and emotionally.

3. Engagement Levels: Find out how interested and involved students are in their learning. We can ask them questions through surveys or see how often they take part in class activities.

4. Feedback from Parents and Teachers: Talk to parents and teachers regularly. Getting their thoughts on how students are doing both at home and school can be really helpful.

5. Goal Attainment: Check if students are hitting the specific goals set for them in their Individualized Education Plans (IEPs).

By looking at all these things together, we can get a better idea of how effective the support and help we are providing really is.
