Individual Educational Plan
There is perhaps no process as frustrating for
parents and teachers alike as the IEP process.
As a team process, it is designed to help parents
and teachers develop a program that is in the best
interest of the child.
All too often, the schools experience a lack of
resources or other challenges, and leaves the
parents feeling that they are not receiving the
support that they need.
The IEP process is critical to the educational
success of the child, and with success can leave
parents feeling empowered to make a difference
in the life of their child.
Parents and teachers need to develop an IEP
process that enables both parties to feel
as though their concerns are heard, and the
child's needs are being met.
A useful book on the subject which can be found
on Amazon.com is called
“Creating A Win-Win IEP for Students with Autism”
by Beth Fouse.
This is a thorough & comprehensive guide for parents
seeking greater involvement in their child's education,
not just for the autistic child but for all who work
in Special Education.
It explores various situations, citing examples &
the legislation used to back it up.
It takes some of the confusion out of Special Education.
By explaining terms while instructing parents in the
basic parameters of an IEP (Individual Education Plan).
It can also serve as a tool for parents who want
services for their child but often don't know how to
ask.
Parents need this type of support so that they are
prepared for the IEP process.
