Welcome to IEP Training
Welcome to Learning Abled Kids' IEP Training. If you are new to the world of special education, you will probably find Individual Education Plans and meetings to be a major part of your child's education. Since IEPs can determine what your child is taught, how your child is taught, who teaches the content, as well as when and where your child's education is provided, the IEP is a critical document.
The IEP is the document that holds the school accountable for teaching your child. If you are a teacher, an IEP is your guide to teaching a particular child. The IEP lets you know what to teach the child and how to reach the child best.
To get the most out of this IEP Overview Training, be sure to click on exploration links provided throughout the course, answer the knowledge questions for fun and learning. If you want to look up the actual code, you can visit the Government's IDEA website and search for regulations of interest.
Resource books you may find helpful, both before and after completing this training, are:
"Better IEPs: How to Develop Legally Correct and Educationally Useful Programs"
These
books let you know yours, and your child's, specific rights as provided
by U.S. federal laws. It is often essential that you know your rights
in order to know what schools must do for children with disabilities.
If you are a religious person, you may also find the "Interfaith
Education Prayer" helpful in improving your IEP meeting outcomes.
If you are a parent of a child with a learning disability, please
sign up for the Learning Abled Kids' message board by clicking here.
This forum is available as a support to you in determining the most
appropriate means for educating your child, whether in public school,
private school, through tutoring/therapy services, or home schooling.
You will find the forum a welcoming place with others who understand
your daily struggles with providing your child's education.
WELCOME to IEP Training!
