Extractions: Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Disabilities and Gifted Education Reston VA. The 1997 amendments to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) emphasized that students with disabilities are to be prepared for employment and independent living and that specific attention is to be paid to the secondary education they receive. The law also requires coordinated and documented planning. Early and meaningful transition planning, which actively involves students and their families, has a positive influence on students' post-school success and independence. This digest describes the process of designing quality IEP transition plans. Taking and Early, Long-Range Approach Generally, an IEP addresses services to be provided to the student during one school year. But when it comes to transition requirements, the IEP team must think and plan several years ahead. The highest incidence of dropping out and of disciplinary actions such as suspension or expulsion occurs during the first two years of high school. To combat this pattern, IDEA requires that the IEP team carefully consider post-school goals when the student is about to enter high school at age 14. Beginning at age 16 (or younger, if appropriate) a statement of transition services needed by the student must be included in the IEP.

Teachers and the principal at our school have the training and skills to provide effective education for students with disabilities in the Least Restrictive Environment. Students with disabilities at our school are provided with extra supports and services needed to learn (such as teacher aides and computers with specialized software), regardless of whether the student is in the regular class or a special class. Supports for students in the Least Restrictive Environment are determined based on individual student needs, not on the availability of personnel or predictions about what the central office will approve. Students with disabilities are taught the regular educational curriculum, whether the student is in the regular class or a special class. This may include modifying the regular curriculum to meet individual student needs.

Extractions: Your IEP Primer The IEP: A Beginner's Guide This program, often referred to as a "plan," plays an integral role in the education of public school children receiving special education and related services. Indeed, without it, no such services would be provided. But what, exactly is an IEP, how does it work, and what role and rights does it delegate to parents? Simply put, the IEP is a federally mandated, individualized plan that must be created before any child 3-to-21 years of age covered by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) can receive special education and related services. So central is the IEP to the child's education that the US Department of Education calls it the "cornerstone of a quality education for each child with a disability." The goal of the IEP is to ensure that the child in question is given the greatest opportunity for academic success in the least restrictive environment, which means that the child should be educated alongside children without disabilities whenever possible. By law, a child's IEP must contain certain information, including:

Parents can ask to see their child's educational records at any time. The school must make the records available within a reasonable time, and not more than 30 days after your request. If you want to review the records for an IEP meeting or a hearing, the school must allow you to see them before the meeting or hearing is held. You can get copies of these records. The school may charge you for the cost of copying. However, if this cost would prevent you from obtaining the copies, the school must provide them for free.

Assistance for Education of All Children with Disabilities, III. Infants and Toddlers with Disabilities, and IV. National Activities to Improve Education of Children with Disabilities. One particularly important aspect of the restructuring effort was the changes made to Individual Education Plans (IEPs) for students with disabilities. Also, as the American Speech and Language Association website explains, The IEP members have also been expanded to include, among others, the special education teacher, and the regular education teacher, as appropriate.
