Exceptionality and Accommodation

Helping parents/students with disabilities:
An IEP (Individualized Education Program) meeting is where a written document will be organized to suit your child’s individual needs/related services.  You must have an IEP to receive special education.
 We will be discussing your child’s current academic performance and what we can do to help them learn in a way that’s better suited for them.  We’ll make individualized goals for your child and discuss any related services that need to be provided.  How much time spent in mainstream classes will be discussed, their participation in district/statewide assessments, transition services regarding postsecondary goals related to their training and education in secondary schooling.  The IEP will also keep a record of how the child’s progress is toward their goals.

I, a regular education teacher and another special education teacher will be there.  There will also be someone who can access and knows about the resources and education curriculum that the school has available.  The child may also be there when appropriate.
