What is the Purpose of Present Levels of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance(PLAAFP) in a Student's IEP: The primary purpose of the PLAAFP is to provide a comprehensive and individualized snapshot of the student's current academic and functional abilities, highlighting their strengths, weaknesses and areas of need "identifying these areas of needs, academic and nonacademic, so that an appropriate educational program can be devised" (Yell, 2018 p. 202).The PLAAFP statement will include information about a student's disability and detail how this disability would impact the student's involvement in the general education classroom (Yell, 2018). For the preschool age child, the PLAAFP statement will detail how a student's disability will impact a student's involvement in early childhood education activities and development (Yell, 2018). The PLAAFP statement is developed with the IEP team and will explore how a student's disability impacts his or her ability to learn and function as compared to students without disabilities (Yell, 2018).Indicating the information needed to develop the PLAAFP will be based on test results and direct observations conducted during the evaluation for eligibility. The PLAAFP should include information about the student's academics (i.e.,performance and test scores), health (i.e., mental and physical), development(i.e., social and emotional) and prevocational and vocational skills where appropriate (Yell,2018).The PLAAFP also include nonacademic data, for example behavioral problems, communication issues,and daily living skills.The PLAAFP statement is multifaceted, encompassing academic achievement, functional performance, and the impact of the student's disability on their participation and progress in the General Education Curriculum by detailing the student's current abilities and challenges, the PLAAFP enables educators, parents, and the IEP team to collaboratively identify areas requiring intervention, accommodations, or modifications. Moreover, it ensures that the subsequent components of the IEP are tailored to address the unique needs of the student.
