How is the Individualized Education Plan (IEP) developed?
A team, which includes; the child’s parents, anyone the parents wish to invite, classroom staff, all service providers, and a building administrator develop the IEP. The team begins by answering and listing the responses to a series of questions that include what the child’s strength are, dreams for the child, fears, and needs of the child. From these lists goals and objectives are prioritized and determined by the team. An effort is made to write goals and objectives that are transdiciplinary, functional, and agreed upon by all team members. How will my child’s IEP goals be met? During weekly team meetings, special education teachers, paraprofessionals and regular education teachers talk about the lessons for the week and any adaptations that may need to be made for each child. The team reviews each child’s IEP and looks for opportunities for IEP goal practice during the week. The team also plans specific classroom activities to address children’s needs. IEP goals are often practiced
