A week into the new school year, Suzie was assigned a client from another school district. With a large caseload, Suzie knew it would be difficult to assess the new client and write the Individualized Education Plan (IEP). She quickly glanced over the IEP sent from the other school district. She decided to copy the digital IEP and use it for her own files. She noticed that the IEP had been formulated over a year ago, but figured she could just change the date. Plus, when things slowed down next month, she could reassess the new client and rewrite the IEP. Do you think the above example is justifiable? Why? Please be specific in your reasoning. Despite feeling overwhelmed, Suzie is not justified in her actions. All special needs …show more content…

Would the IEP Suzie turned in be considered acceptable? Why? The IEP Suzie turned in would not be considered acceptable. First, any technical document should include more than data and numbers. According to Roth & Worthington (2011), “A well-written document does more than report test scores and performance data. It provides an explanation of each data point and specifies its relation to a client’s overall communication profile and needs” (p. 62). Second, Suzie’s poorly written IEP may damage her reputation with other professions. In some cases, a written report is the only means of communication between clinicians (Roth & Worthington, 2011, p. 62). Finally,
The Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a legal document used by schools in order to map out a plan of action for those that are in need of special education.

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.

Mrs.Fisher saw how much the IEP affected paul and so when Paul transferred she said to Paul “ Your IEP form disappeared somewhere between Lake Windsor and here” page 105.

She may continue to struggle, but with the IEP I hope to see continued progress in her schoolwork. I know that the IEP can be changed based on the goals of the grade that she is in. I am not certain that this is the right choice to make, but with the research that I have done, I think it is. I hope that for Madison’s sake it
