Editor's Notes
IEP = the Cornerstone of the special ed process Addresses needs and how the school will address the needs of the student
Does not print with IEP as information is not mandated, but helpful. Only place with parents names, phone numbers.
If multiple documents, use the one on the top
Addresses the 4 need areas: Academic, social, physical & Management Uses data from multiple sources to describe current functioning Student/parent concerns Transition needs Clear, specific language that can eb understood by parents and school staff Creates a thorough foundation for development fo goals and services
Drop downs, can provide summary of findings……linkage! Do not erase prior psych info- chairs will monitor the need for info listed State assessments: some scores can be found in DataMate or ask a secretary to print results from Rediker
Demonstrate entries in actual IEP
Writing Styles- different forms are used in the sample IEP Share drop down subtitles If parents are not in contact during the year, state “parent has not expressed concerns to this point”
BIP: narrative box to add note who manages the plan. “found on file with the special ed teacher”. Or BIP addresses aggressive behaviors. Assumption that FBA was completed first. Copy to psychologist. Behavioral intervention could be counseling need, preferential seating, consult with school psych etc
AT: discuss the at home piece Transition/Annual Goals: see next slides
Address priority needs from PLP Enhances student’s ability to progress in gen ed curriculum Use clear wording that all can understand Includes plan for monitoring progress Educational benefit. Build from prior goals if unmet
You are allowed to modify or edit a goal from the bank to simplify or clarify the intention Clarity of language describing what the student will DO Observable behaviors
Shared aide is no longer under programs…. Now in program mod
Supported by PLP Reflect student and parent input Support placement in LRE Strike balance between providing support and promoting independence
All sections must be filled in or it will be flagged and not able to finalize AT: What is needed not a wish list
Did a great job last year. Keep it up.
NYSSAA criteria link is on last page- need severe cognitive, significant communication and adaptive behavior, highly specialized educ. Program to assist with transfering skills across environments AND require support for AT, personal care, medical services or behavioral intervention.
