FREE VMA IEP ORGANIZER & CHECKLIST
It is the IEP TEAMS’ responsibility to REVIEW ALL of the evaluation INFORMATION, to identify ANY related SERVICES the child needs, and to INCLUDE them in the IEP.
IDEA PROTECTS children and SUPPORTS advocates by using a TEAM model to devise educational plans.
Advocates who PREPARE, interpret results and consolidate information before meetings.
Did you know that school districts are required by federal and state law to provide copies of assessment reports and other educational records BEFORE the IEP meeting?
Are you interpreting results prior to meetings?
Are you considering discussing if a related service is appropriate?
Related Services: IF a particular related service is going to be DISCUSSED in an IEP meeting, it would be APPROPRIATE (not required) for such personnel to be included or INVOLVED in DEVELOPING the IEP.
Are you planning to DISCUSS a POSSIBLE RELATED SERVICE in the next IEP team meeting?
Did you know what related services MAY be APPROPRIATE for your child?
IDEA states that, at the discretion of the PARENT or the public agency, “other individuals who have knowledge or special expertise regarding the child, INCLUDING related services personnel as appropriate,” MAY be part of a child’s IEP team.
Do you feel like your IEP TEAM is meeting the standards set forth by IDEA?
Do you think you’d like guidance advocating for your child TODAY?
