To create compliant, educationally sound IEPs, your district needs to meet a myriad of IDEA requirements concerning both the document and the process.
Measurable annual goals ... IEP review and revision ... meeting format ... behavioral intervention plans ... assistive technology ... More than 260 Q&As spell out your IDEA requirements in all areas -- giving you key guidance to draft IEPs that are results-oriented and focused on each student’s unique needs:
- Who must participate in an IEP meeting?
- How standardized may an IEP be while still complying with the IDEA’s requirement for individualization?
- What is the difference between a short-term objective and a benchmark?
- What does it mean to make decisions about the IEP "by consensus"?
- And hundreds more!
The recently updated Answer Book also addresses the revised IDEA regulations on revocation of parental consent for services, as well as new case law on transition services, IEP team meetings, transfer students, and predetermination of placement.
