ABSTRACT
Nigel is a 9-year-old with mild mental retardation whose placement in a multiage classroom is complicated by a moderate hearing loss and ADD. A 3-year reevaluation conducted at the beginning of the school year included extensive audiological assessment as well as standardized language testing that confirmed particular difficulties in expressive phonology and morphosyntax. Language sampling and a classroom checklist were used to help determine the educational impact of Nigel s difficulties and to help plan accommodations and develop Nigel s individualized educational plan.
