IEP

Feb 01 | IEP checklist for parents

When I begin working with children that have special needs, I find that many parents struggle with keeping up with all the paperwork that comes along with the Individual Educational Plan (IEP). I recommend that parents purchase a large 3D binder with tabbed insert pocket dividers. Sections should be labeled: IEP Team Members "Fill In" Table of Contents form Notifications Current Performance Annual Goals Services, Support and Aids Special Factors Students Placement State and District Assessments Special Notes; sent to parents and copies you send to teachers, administrators and aids Communications: letters, email notes, phone log By managing the IEP paperwork in an organized system, parents will be able to stay engaged and in control of this tedious process. As your child moves from one grade level to the next, from elementary school to high school, your system will help you to recall the past so that you can impact the current plan and prepare for the future! Don't leave home without it!
