Despite having autism, Curtis is performing at or above grade level in all academic areas of the classroom. In April, his performance was compared to a normal distribution of scores from peers his age with the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test-Third Edition.

*Curtis receives individualized adult assistance across the curriculum throughout the day. Academically, Curtis is strong but needs a lot of support and front loading to be able to participate in groups within the classroom. He did these tests on his own, in increments of 35 minutes, with an examiner.
