The Student IEPs are best completed as a team activity with all
services being represented.
The following bullets give
some instruction for completion of the information on the IEP.
-
Be
certain that the student’s demographic information is
complete, accurate and up-to-date.
-
Expected credential
-
For students ages 13 and over, mark either an IEP
diploma or a regular education diploma. An IEP diploma
mark should be used cautiously so as not to limit a
student’s future potential and should be reflected by
statements in the IEP that justify this expectation.
-
CTE
- For students who will be attending CTE, a student data
form must accompany the IEP.
-
12
Mo
-
12 month programming is
justifiable based on the “regression/recoupment”
standard... (i.e., that a child will suffer such
significant regression that he/she will not be able to
recoup a skill within a reasonable amount of time). This
justification needs to be evident in the PLEP of the
student’s IEP. Make sure you have included ESY programs
and related services. ESY goals will no longer be
included, with the assumption that ESY services focus on
the prevention of regression of the previous year’s
progress.
-
Speech Services
- Determine the speech service that best reflects the
student’s need. Recommendations for speech services need to
be justified in the student’s PLEP of the IEP (specifically
the academic/learning characteristics section).
-
OT/PT
- OT/PT service recommendations should be made
primarily by the OT or PT and made in conjunction with the
classroom team. These services must be justified in the
PLEP of the student’s IEP (specifically the physical
development section).
-
SW
Services
- Level of service should be justified in the student’s PLEP
of the IEP (specifically the social development section
and/or management needs section).
-
1:1
TA
- A 1:1 TA should be recommended only when
absolutely necessary to maintain the student in the
recommended program. The recommendation must be accompanied
by a detailed justification form which supports such
recommendation and should have principal approval prior to
submission to CSE. This need should be justified in the PLEP.
The form is available in the forms library under IEP
Development on the Wembley web-site.
-
VI,
O&M, Rehab Services
- VI, O&M & Rehab service recommendations should be made
primarily by the VI/O&M/Rehab teacher and made in
conjunction with the classroom team. Justification for
these services should be reflected in the PLEP of a
student’s IEP (specifically in the Physical Development
Section). VI, O&M, & Rehab service recommendations should
be made in 60 minute (hour) units only.
-
Nursing Services
– For students who require nursing procedures that exceed
the “usual and customary” levels described in the Ancillary
Services Guidelines make a notation in the Medical Alert
section and include Skilled Nursing Services as a Related
Service. These procedures may include, but not be limited
to, tube feedings, nebulizer
treatments and catheterizations.
-
Consultant Teacher Services
– This service is offered in hour blocks on a limited basis
only in BOCES classes and primarily for students who need a
consultant teacher of the deaf.
-
Assistive Technology, Services or Adaptive Devices
– This recommendation is for students who require
consultation from an Assistive Technology Specialist and/or
adaptive devices due to the complex nature of a student’s
disability and the need to examine assistive technology per
the student’s IEP. The recommendations should be entered in
the category of Assistive Technology, Services or Adaptive
Devices. Justification for these services should be made in
the appropriate PLEP section of the IEP.
Please remember this is a professional
document. Please proofread your work carefully.
Remember that the IEP is a cohesive document. As such, there
should be a clear connection between the PLEP's, the goals,
the test accommodations and the related services.
