IEP Plan

1) Recognition- If a parent, or caregiver recognizes anything out of the ordinary and feels
the extra assistance may be beneficial to the student.

2) Pre-referral- Pre-referral activities are employed to screen students before more

formal identification procedures are implemented.

3) Referral- If pre-referral interventions are unsuccessful, an individual is referred for

special education services.

4) Evaluation- The school preforms and assessment on the student to see were the
student is at and what materials the student may need for a better education.

5) Eligibility- The information from the assessment step is used to identify students who
actually have a disability and qualify for special education services.

6) IEP Meeting- The IEP team discusses the accommodations the student will need to
increase their educational performance.

7) IEP Implementation- Once the IEP is developed, it lays out what an appropriate
education for the student is, the extent to which the student participates in the general
education curriculum, the accommodations the student receives both for instruction
and for testing, and the array of multidisciplinary services.

8) Re-evaluation- The purpose of the IEP review meetings is to ensure that students are
meeting their goals and making educational progress.

Personal Reflection: I enjoyed doing the IEP simulation in class. Being involved in a practice IEP
meeting gives you an idea on what will be discussed during the meeting, and what school
personnel needs to be in the meeting.
