The Road Map to IEP Development
When a team writes an IEP, it's important that all the pieces are in alignment and are working together to support the student in accessing their grade level content. There ARE numerous parts to an IEP and it can be overwhelming to understanding how we get from point A to point B and how all the pieces line up!
In fact, many teams actually work backwards, starting at placement when placement should actually be determined and driven by the services not the other way around.
In this episode of the Empowered 2 Advocate Podcast, Michelle and Dana Marie discuss:
The various parts of the IEP and how they should all align with the student's disability, how they learn, and giving access to the learner's education
How data should be the driving force in creating challenging but achievable goals
How and when services can be delivered
The goal of delivering services in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE)
The Least Restrictive Environment continuum
The purpose of progress reports
and more!
