4. 4 Opening: Agenda
5. 5 Opening: Background Federal, state, and local mandates require the IEP team to conduct assessments to identify all areas of need related to a students disability.
For each area of identified need, the IEP must include a present level of performance, at least one goal, and the appropriate services and/or supports to assist the student to achieve the developed goal(s).
For students who have an identified need in the area of social/emotional/behavioral development, interventions begin at the district level.
If district-level interventions are not sufficient for addressing the students social/emotional/behavioral development needs, a referral for community mental health services can be made.
6. 6 District Level Interventions: Assessment The assessment should include at least the following:
A detailed psycho-social-educational history
Behavioral checklists completed by parents, teachers, and student (when appropriate)
Interviews with parents, teachers, student, and any outside providers
Observations of the student
Evidence of consideration of a conduct disorder, as appropriate
7. 7 District Level Interventions: Activity 1 Directions: In pairs, share early intervention supports and services that your district is currently utilizing.
