When the IEP Team Meets

This assignment assesses your ability to explain the Individualized Education Program team meeting process in accordance with the requirements set forth by the IDEA and to clarify the role of each legally mandated attendee on the IEP team. This assessment also supports your achievement of Course Learning Outcome 2, 3,4, 6 and the MASE Program Learning Outcome 4, 6, and 8.

The IEP meeting typically has a specific process that is followed in order to meet required steps as outlined by IDEA. The video,  The IEP Team Process: Chapter 5- The IEP meeting (Links to an external site.) , simulates an annual IEP team meeting in progress that begins with introductions and concludes with the parents being given a copy of the written documents in which they are then asked to provide their signatures indicating consent. To ensure that each step in the IEP process is being addressed, an agenda is disseminated before the meeting officially begins. The written agenda may also include a copy of meeting ground rules and the student’s schedule among other informative items.

Instructions Read the following brief article, “ When the IEP Team Meets (Links to an external site.) ,” which explains the required elements of the IEP team meeting process as governed by the IDEA. Using support from this article, your required course textbook, and the Instructor Guidance address the following components:
