What is an IEP?
IEPs are like a contract with the school defining required aspects of your child’s education. As such, it is important that IEPs be carefully written.
All IEP team members should remain mindful that they are planning your child’s “Path to Success” and lowering expectations only harms your child’s future.
IEP sections covered in this course are Present Levels of Performance, Goals & Objectives, Supports & Services, Accomodations & Modifications, Measures of Progress, and Placement. Each of these sections is required to share specific information which will help teachers provide your individual child with an appropriate education.
It is equally important that expectations and measurements of success are not watered down to minimize the school’s responsibility for your child’s education.
Beyond this course explaining, “What is an IEP?” you’ll want to check out the FREE, online Special Education Guidebook for Educationally Involved Parents of Children with LDs for parents. The guidebook will equip you with the information you need to properly advocate for your child.
