Answer 5

Every district has a different form and way of writing their IEPs, so it would be hard to answer about all the details. However, all IEPs have the following:

The student's name, address, parent contact, and student ID.

Disability category.

Strengths of the student. -- make your own list to bring and share! What do you see yourself as being good at?

Areas of need for support. -- make your own list; what sort of help do you think you need, and with what?

Current progress (general). -- how are you doing in your classes?

Classroom modifications needs. -- what can the teacher do to help you work well in class?

Academic and other goals for things in which the student is below grade level.

Any other medical information that might affect the student's education (allergies, diabetes, etc.).

Does the student speak a different language at home?

Any technology, staff, etc. support the student needs in order to succeed.

Does the student need special bussing?

Does the student need accomodation during testing?

Definition of time spent away from the regular class, and who will the student be with? (therapists, sped teachers, etc.).

The team includes:

at least one of the student's regular ed teachers

the student's sped teacher

any therapists the student sees

an administrator

the student's parent(s)

anyone the parent(s) choose to invite

when the student becomes old enough, the most important person of all... the student.

Hope this helps!

Answer 6

An Is designed IEP (individualized education  plan) is designed specifically for your child. you have to think about what he is having trouble learning and then set 3 measurable goals that by the end of a given school year he may have made progress towards it. for example he refuses to wash his hands you can write into his IEP that he has to be able to wash his hands independently without being told too after he uses the bathroom, or if its math or reading you can set his goal for say.... adding 3 digits together or whatever area of concern you have can be addressed in the IEP. (depending on the disabilty of your child and what areas he needs help in.

Answer 7

Individual Educational Program, IEP, is the yearly plan that is decided by your special ed team at school and your parents. In most states you have the right to attend this meeting and help with the plan when you reach the age of 13. Sorry I cant show you an IEP but your parents should have a copy of yours.

Answer 8

An IEP is begun with an intial evaluation.  This evaluation yeilds the child's strengths and needs.  If special education services are warrented then the IEP is developed.  From this initial evaluation present levels of performance (often referred to as the PLOPS on an IEP document) are generated.  The strengths and needs of the student are included here.  From the PLOPS goals are determined. Specially designed instruction is agreed to to help the student meet the goals.  If additional services are needed to help meet the goals then there is a section called related services that might include speech therapy, occupation therapy etc.  Then there is a section called accommodations and modifications where additional supports will be identified and included in the IEP.  Each IEP is individualized but the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act requires that certain sections be included in an IEP.  Cosmetically every IEP may look different depending on the school district but all IEPs should contain certain sections individualized to the student; these sections at least include PLOPs, goals, sdi, accommodation, modifications, ESY qualification.  Remember the IEP team is made of of different participants including a regular education teacher, parents, LEA, special education teacher and other invited to participate.  The student may participate in their IEP if apprioprate.
