For school teams facing disruption during difficult academic work, this recorded Q&A examines how a consultation plan can fit classroom staffing and a student's learning needs.

Ronnie Detrich leads the case discussion, with Jennifer Rumfola moderating audience questions. Team interviews explore an 11-year-old student's strengths, math difficulties and handwriting barriers before the discussion turns to classroom and separate-room probes.

Detrich describes negotiated choices about where to work, a replacement request to leave and instruction in prerequisite math skills. He also examines staff availability and a short checklist for checking whether adults deliver the agreed plan.

Audience questions address peer aggression during breaks and ritualistic transitions. Jennifer briefly describes communication, delay and tolerance procedures associated with Hanley's work and states that she has not personally implemented that approach. This segment does not provide a full IISCA/PFA lesson.

What does this recording cover?

• Team interviews in the math case identify student strengths, difficult tasks and variables the school can change.
• Classroom and separate-room probes inform choices about work location and a replacement request to leave.
• The case combines prerequisite math instruction with planning around staff time and implementation barriers.
• Break-time aggression questions examine peer interactions alongside the individual student's behavior.
• A short staff checklist anchors the discussion of implementation checks, practice and feedback.

Recording context: School closure interrupted the reported case before formal fading began. The recording date is not supplied.
