Determine whether Cameron's sexual behavior is normative.  Is the behavior random or infrequent?
No. While this is the first incident in which staff have observed Cameron touch another student, there is an ongoing pattern of challenging behavior.
 Is the behavior typical for the student’s age and developmental ability?
No. Students this age should have developed other skills to problem-solve with peers. Threatening with violence or sexual acts is not typical for students this age. Most students Cameron's age would tell an adult if they had an issue with a much younger student, knowing that younger kids have more limited problem-solving skills. It is not typical to forcefully touch another student’s private parts.
 Is the behavior driven by curiosity, exploration, and playfulness?
No, the behavior is likely caused by a lack of social problem-solving skills.
 If other students are involved, is it mutual and good-humored?
No, it’s upsetting to the other student.
 If other students are involved, do they know each other well and are they of a similar age and development (<2 years)?
While Cameron and Makayla attend the same program, there is a three-year age gap. If student'sn Cameron’s age use sexually explicit language or even experiment with sexual touching, it is normally with same-age peers.
 Is the behavior easily redirected?
No, staff members are generally having a difficult time redirecting Cameron’s behavior.
Normative Sexual Behavior?
Cameron’s behavior is non-normative. Sheila and Crystal decide that based on the information they have, they should engage more help.
