Here are the 6 most important questions to ask in your next IEP meeting. (IEP stands for Individualized Education Plan.)
The three most important parts of the IEP meeting are the:
- Goals
- Accommodations and/or modifications
- The amount of time your child receives services and the details of how and where those services will be delivered.
So, the questions to ask and get answered are:
- What are the goals and benchmarks for the IEP? Ask them to explain the vocabulary that you are not familiar with.
- How do you communicate to the parents/home if the benchmarks are not being met?
- Who will be doing the instruction directed toward the goals?
- Will the instruction be delivered in a small group or in the classroom?
- If it is in a group, try to understand more about the group and whether you think your child is a good fit for that group.
- How much time will my child be given for each learning challenge?
