Presentation Transcript

  1. Your IEP

  2. Learning Objectives • Students will learn what an IEP is and what it is used for • Students will learn about some laws related to disabilities • Students will learn about the parts of the IEP

  3. What is an IEP? • Individualized Education Plan • Written document • Customized for each student • Talks about disability and how it impacts YOUR learning • Sets goals for you to meet during the school year

  4. Why Do I Need an IEP? • First… history • Prehistoric era • Dark ages • More modern… more problems • Refrigerator Moms, for example • Educational Reform

  5. Educational Reform • IDEA – Individuals with Disabilities Education Act • Requires each student with a disability to have an IEP • Protects your rights as a student • Entitles you to a Free, Appropriate Public Education (FAPE)

  6. Why Should I Participate? • We’re talking about YOU. • We’re setting up YOUR future. • We’re deciding what YOU’LL be doing after high school. • If you don’t speak up, you have no voice • If you don’t have a voice, you can’t complain about the decisions. • You can help us guide you to what you want to do

  7. Participation Steps • Step 1: Talk to your parents and teachers • Step 2: Review last year’s IEP • Step 3: Think about your strengths and needs in school • Step 4: Write goals for this school year • Step 5: Practice what you want to say at the meeting

  8. Your IEPs • Mr. Szewczyk will hand out your IEP (if he has it… he does not have everyone’s) • This is a confidential document – keep it private from other students

  9. Page 1 • Basic information, also includes the IEP team

  10. Page 2 • Begins to talk about the Present Level(s) of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance (PLAAFP) • This section gives information about how you are doing in school and in other areas of your life (sometimes) • Take a second to read the first PLAAFP in your IEP (if you do not have an IEP, you can twiddle your thumbs)

  11. More on PLAAFP • Following the PLAAFP, you’ll see a section about “Transition Needs” • These explain what we are focusing on in your education to help you prepare for the next phase in your life (post-secondary) • Next is “Transition Services” • These explain how we will approach meeting your needs

  12. Goals and Objectives • Goals are annually reviewed at IEP meetings • We decide if the goals are appropriate or not at that time • If you meet the goals, we move on and may create a new one that gets you to the next point • If you no longer need a goal in that area because you are at grade level or we decide it is not important, then we remove that goal from your IEP

  13. Objectives • After we make a goal, we break it down into parts • These are objectives • I write objectives to be in order… so Objective 1 you should meet first, then move on to Objective 2, then Objective 3, etc. • Once you meet the last objective, you should be meeting your goal

  14. Adaptations • The next section we’ll talk about is “Adaptations in General and Special Education” • These are a list of services and modifications that we provide to you to help you become successful in class • These should fit your needs as a student

  15. Service Minutes • Next is Special Education and Related Services to Meet Goals and Objectives • These explain where we will provide you support and how long we will provide support

  16. Least Restrictive Environment • This section explains what type of setting you will be in during the school day • It then breaks down what you will be doing in the special education environment while others are in the general education environment • It explains why this is necessary as well
