When does this get updated?
Dr. Ortiz reviews and updates this plan every 90 days — or sooner if Mateo hits a goal early or you notice something that needs attention. Next scheduled review: June 12.
If something changes at home or school before then, you can always share it with the team.
Share a concern or updateYou do not need to memorize any of this. The team tracks it so you can focus on the one thing at the top of each goal card. That is the only thing you need to do at home.
