Iep Meeting Case Study

The IEP is created by a group of individuals who play an important role in the student’s success. Those that should be involved in the creation of the IEP are the parents of the students, at least one regular education teacher of the student, at least one special education teacher, a representative of the LEA who is able to supervise the plans, someone who is able to interpret evaluation results (may be someone already on the team), any other person who has knowledge about the student, and whenever possible, the student with the disability (Gibb & Dyches, 2016). The evaluation results will be used to decide the child’s eligibility for special education and related services and to make decisions about an appropriate educational program for the child. Once the student is tested and determined eligible for services the IEP must be written.

Then the article discusses the similarities and differences between an IFSP and an IEP. The IFSP starts with a child who is younger than three years old. This takes place in the family home or a child care center. The importance of the IFSP is to help the parents learn and deal with their child’s disability. The focus stays on the parent’s role in supporting the child’s learning development (Ray, Pewitt-Kinder, George, 2009). When the child turns three and older then they transition to an IEP. The IEP is different from the IFSP as it focuses more on the child. The child is evaluated and given goals specifically for them to help them to learn in a school environment. Although they focus on different people they are the same in that it is important

One of the two requirements from indicator 13 that is missing is the teacher did not inviting Lisette to her own IEP meeting. The teacher mentioned that the reason for not inviting Lisette was because she knew basketball practice. Regardless, indicatory 7 states that the students must be invited to their own IEP meeting where transition plans will be talked about. Their must be proof that an attempt was made to invite the student to attend the IEP transition meeting. If I was the facilitator of the meeting I would try to make an arrangement that worked with everyone schedule involved and also Lisettes. Having the student involved at the IEP transition planning is important, because there are discussions about her future and plans

In the video, it discusses the main purpose the to discuss the student behavior. I also notice that they included a parking lot for when the meeting gets out of topic we can write down in the parking lot and address them at a later the end of the meeting. Also, the team must discuss the main goals to create strategies to help with the student educational goals. In the video, it discusses the student overall progress and behavior and set out goals was to create strategies to improve student behavior at school. In addition, reviewing to IEP checklist I believe the difficult part is not getting off the topic. They will be parents that are unhappy or don’t agree with the results that can cause tension and frustration. The purpose of the meeting is to collaborate and coming into agreement strategies to improve on the child goals. It will be difficult to stick with the agenda when the parent has other topics to address instead of the goals that are presented. Facilitated IEP are beneficial with complex IEP meeting issues especially when knowing beforehand situations have been complex. A facilitator supports the general IEP team that is conducting a IEP meeting. The team members run the meeting while the facilitator main purpose is to intervene and upholds the peace, while assisting the team to focus on the real issues and goals in

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. Parents send principals letters demanding answers to their

As a special education teacher I am involved in numerous meetings, in some of those meetings I have noticed that words, cultures and back grounds can impact the tone and outcome of the meeting. For some parents meeting with a room full of teachers can be intimidating. All too often the meeting consists of educated, white females. I am often the first African American teacher the student or parents have had interactions with. I can remember sitting in an IEP meeting for an hour when everyone had left the room besides me and the parent, I asked again if she had any questions or concerns. The parent asked, “What does all this mean for my child?” This parent sat in a meeting for an hour and had no idea what was being said nor did she feel comfortable

IEP is being adopted, the child’s parents have the opportunity to: 1) examine all of their child’s

The tone is serious and supportive at this time. The mother expressed her continued frustration from her last meeting that occurred at Anson middle school last year. Dr. Neiman had the opportunity to review the most recent Individualized Education Plan, from January 2017, with the team. We are focused on the educational model outlined by the department of public instruction guidelines. By law, these guidelines focus on benchmarks and short-term objectives; the challenge is making sure he is successful as a student. As it relates to speech, this student should be able to communicate. The main question/concern of Dr. Neiman’s is if the student’s current speech abilities and IEP goals are appropriate to allow him access to the classroom curriculum. If so, the student would not qualify for additional speech services.

The IEP team met today to conduct an annual review for Daniella Rayon. Two separate notifications were sent out to the parent/ student. SB 1108 was addressed and signed at the start of the meeting. The parent and student were both present.

After the doctor’s referral, M’s parents did not receive any call from the evaluation agency. They kept calling the agency but they were asked to wait, because there was lack of the evaluators that speak Chinese in the agency and their appointments were filled. Finally, they found an evaluator who speaks Chinese in Queens (M’s family live in brooklyn.) M’s parents bought M all the way to Queens and took the evaluation. Unfortunately, the evaluator did not get so much information from the evaluation because the environment was new and less secure for M. M was not participated. Later, M received his IEP before summer school in April, 2015. M’s mother wished M can get service as soon as possible. However, the person who in charge of M’s case told M’s parents that they were required to wait because there was no SEIT available during summer. No matter how often M’s parents contacted the agency and the IEP group to help setting up the service for M, they did not get what they wanted. M had no service to assist him in the summer and his SEIT service began in November. M’s parents were not satisfied about the lateness but felt glad that M finally got helps. With the SEIT’s help, M had his speech therapy service in December.

Next the webinar described the steps taken by the school district to ensure participation in the IEP meeting. The individual components of the IEP were described. Finally Extended School Year (ESY) and the reevaluation process was described in the webinar.

First, our family's dynamics. Right, wrong, or indifferent, our family has dynamics that may not be in play in your "typical" student's family. I say this as a precursor to this... I believe your priorities and ours may not always match, but hopefully the success of Emma, the child of topic, does match. First of all, my husband and I both work advanced careers. Many days I leave as early as 6am and get home as late as 6pm, and some days, I work until 9pm or later. Jeremy and I switch off working late many times as well. I have two children with special needs and have hundreds of appointments each year to attend, which also means at times, I work in

The Individualized Education Plan that was customized to meet Amy’s needs stated that she was to utilize the FM transmitter; she was also to have a tutor for the deaf meet with her daily for an hour to get directions and was also to meet with a speech therapist three times a week. Amy’s parents agreed with parts of her IEP but also felt that Amy needed a sign language instructor in every one of her classes. Amy did receive a therapist for a two week trial while attending kindergarten but it was decided she did not need this service in order to do her studies.

Discussion: The team converged at Gregory Elementary school to participate in Donte's IEP meeting. The school counselor was not aware or forgot about the meeting which they scheduled . The meeting was rescheduled for Thursday 06/15/17 at 10 am. Tammy expressed frustration with school inability to communicate effectively. Tammy reported that Donte is behaving appropriately at home and in school. She informed the team that Donte's Risperdal was D/c'd because of insatiable appetite, and significant weight gain.

Performance Activity 25: Attending an IEP meeting impacts student learning by how the IEP team evaluates and determine a student’s goals, accommodations, modifications, and which RTI tier the student will be in. Discussing a student’s IEP goals are designed to help the student improve on areas of improvement and to become successful. The impact on student learning when designing goals is to allow the student to be able to meet their goal and is centered around their needs. Discussing accommodations and modifications impacts student learning by the type and how many services the student receives. The type of service/s a student receives impacts how the student will meet or not meet their IEP goals and impact if student learning is evident.
