"At the beginning of the year, Lawrence and I sat down and created goals, both academic and social (i.e., improving writing, reading completing work in a timely fashion, and appropriate interactions with others). Yes Lawrence did make progress! Several staff members have commented on his improved behavior, and his teacher has raved about his improved writing skills."
