It determines if the student is eligible, needs special education, designed as individualized education program (IEP) and determines the best place to implement that program. The ARD takes place at Admission to services, again on an annual basis and upon dismissal on graduation. Present at the ARD are parents, the student, if appropriate, the regular education teacher, a special education teacher and a representative of the district familiar with services. Others who may attend include therapists, evaluation experts and other persons familiar with the child.
