Teacher Interview
Q: “How would you describe Ben’s ability to regulate his
emotions and behaviors?”
Teacher: “I would say he is average or above average
when it comes to emotional regulation. Especially
compared to some of his peers. Ben doesn’t usually get
stuck on things, he’s able to move on.”
Q: “What are Ben’s strengths and weaknesses with
regards to social-emotional development?”
Teacher: “His strength is that he is able to self-regulate.
He does sometimes have trouble playing with others...he
can be kind of rough. He also struggles with using his
inside voice.”
