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?

It is not typical to forcefully touch another student’s private parts.
Is the behavior driven by curiosity, exploration, and playfulness?
