An Individual Education Plan At Eagle Summit Community Day School

Another common key component is the Individual Education Plan or IEP. An IEP is a written guideline used to compare and display information regarding a student’s success and failures. An IEP includes the level in which a student is currently at and where the educator believes they will be in the next year. By reviewing the previous year’s goals, teachers and parents can compare the student successes. In addition to an IEP’s reviewing and goal setting abilities, it is also a legally binding document. Due process of law, another component of PL 94–142 is an overview of knowledge and consent and also the schools procedures and timelines for their actions. Due process of law also states that the school may not make a decision related to a student’s education without the parent and child agreement. This component also includes that an IEP may not be conducted without an at least 10 day notice to the family of the child. P.L. 94-142 also includes a component which states that schools must conduct assessments in a manner which is fair to all students. Also, P.L. 94-142 states that schools must keep their records private. Parents do however, have the right to see the records being taken

Michael Panico was a boy with who was identified while in first grade as having a specific learning disability. He then qualified for special education and related transportation. Now in third grade Michael’s school, Memorial School in Burlington, Massachesetts only goes to the third grade then they go to another school. Because of this transition services had to be in place as well as an IEP. Michael had a learning disability but was above average or even at times considered superior intelligence. Memorial School recommended Michael be placed in a school in another town that would be very structured because the town/school believed Michael’s disability was emotional whereas his parents said it was neurological. His parents did not like the IEP presented or the recommended placement for Michael at Pine Glen School and Michael’s father wanted a review and he also rejected the new IEP. After reading the case I would have to agree with the father knowing my son would not be in the proper placement. The Massachusetts Department of Education Bureau of Special Education Appeals (BSEA) did the review. The hearing did not take place at this time but mediation did. However the mediation did not work but in the meantime Michael’s parents had him tested at Massachusetts General Hospital where they found him to have a severe learning disorder and emotional difficulties were considered secondary. Michael had perceptual difficulties and it was determined and they recommended a specialized

After I submitted a write up about Evan, I was called to the office and Mrs. Thiam wanted to speak to me. She said, “I read your write up. Mrs. Pereira, you have to be more sympathetic to those kids. They are coming from the broken families. Everyday is a new day, and you have to start new.” Mrs. Thiam continued, “So, how do you and Ms. Vigliotti (who is Evan’s classroom teacher) work together with the perspective of PBIS?” I said, “I speak to her about her students every time when she has music.” Mrs. Thiam went, “No, that’s not what I’m talking about.” However, she did not give me any explanation about how to work together with the perspective of PBIS, and changed a subject. “I called Evan’s mother and left the message to suspend him for

An IEP (Individual Education Plan) is used, before a term starts the school will hold a meeting for any outside agencies, the parents and teachers of the child to meet and discuss the next best plan of education for the child. Discussing the child’s interests preferred learning methods, targets, flexibility and interagency working with the child.

During the meeting, several issues are address such as concerns, activities, questions and changes in IEP goals. Student’s placement in a special education program is decided by the IEP team after parents or facilitator gives the ok for the students to begin receiving services that they are in desperate need of. Some decision that at made at the meeting are not always done with all parties in agreement with what needs to change. Some parents don’t agree with some of the services that will be provided to their child but, will need more time to think about the services and need the reason why some decisions where consider for their child, but never receive it. Some parents never agree and do not give their written consent for the services their child has received. When this issue is not resolved parents have the option to ask for mediation and a hearing but because of the backlog with the meeting process they feel that the meeting will not take place and their voice will never be heard. Parents know that in order to participate in their child’s IEP, teachers and the IEP team must know the students disability. Several Parents complain that some of the parties at the meeting do not know who their child is so how recommendations for services’ can made.

Sumter County School District 17 is a public school district in South Carolina. T.H. is a student who qualifies for services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Sumter County School is appealing the decision of the lower district court, who found that the school district did not provide TH with a Free Appropriate Public Education. The school is also appealing the district court’s findings, which verified that T.H’.s current placement at home was appropriate. The school argues that the home placement of T.H. was not the Least Restrictive Environment. The school district’s appeal further contends that they at least in part provided a FAPE for T.H. because he was making some educational gains during the time in question even though the school was not providing the amount of service indicated in T.H.’s Individualized Education Plan. The school also asserts that they remedied internal problems and were able to provide the full range of time and services require through T.H.’s IEP.

Parents and educators will not always agree on what is best for their child. Murdick, Gartin, & Fowler (2014) state, “the parental view of ‘what is good for my child’ may not be consistent with the school district’s view of what is good for all those in the school” (p. 239). Therefore, it is important that parents know and understand they have rights when it comes to the education of their child. As well, there are legal options available when disagreement occurs. These rights and options come in the form of the procedural safeguards outlined in part B of IDEA. Schools are required to provide parents a copy of the procedural safeguards explaining their rights and legal options upon referral of services, when a complaint is filed, when a change of placement decision is being considered, and anytime upon parental request (“Procedural Safeguards Notice,” n.d.).

There will be many scenarios that can challenge a counselor. However, when there are specific cases that involve harm to the clients’ person or another a counselor must follow the processes outlined in the bylaws of the American School Counselor Association.

This paper will answer questions in response to the scenario of Angela.

In this assignment, I will identify effective procedures for documentation and remediation of the teacher, her behaviors and the allegations about her regarding a special education student.
