The IEP Process

Part 1: Summary

Review the “FIEP: A Facilitated IEP Meeting” video from this week’s readings. In a 500-750 word summary, address the following:

Identify IEP team members, by title, who are:

1. Mandated to be present under IDEA; and
2. Are optional under IDEA.

Describe the required sections of an IEP, explaining what each section addresses and how it relates to the education of the individual with exceptionalities.

Part 2: Checklist Reflection

Review the “IEP Checklist” resource from this week’s readings. Pay specific attention to the “Interactions, Participation, & Communication” and the “Method of Decision Making” sections, while keeping the CEC Professional Ethical Principles in mind.

In 250-300 words, reflect upon the “FIEP: A Facilitated IEP Meeting” video, sharing observations in relation to the aforementioned sections of the “IEP Checklist” document.

1. What are some of the items from the checklist in the two identified sections that you saw in the video’s mock IEP meeting?
2. What skills from the checklist do you think might be difficult for you to perform?
3. What could you do to help develop those skills that might be difficult for you?

Submit your summary and checklist reflection as one deliverable.
