[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 619577, member: 805"] [SIZE=5]Please don't get frustrated. It doesn't matter if she is getting sick of your questions. The goal here is to write a highly individualized education plan. We can get caught up sometimes in the IEP roll and not really focus that this instrument cannot contain generalizations that you find on any IEP help website or Special Education teaching textbook. This document needs to be individualized to meet the goals necessary to insure your child receives, at a very minimum, adequate supports and modifications to assure a quality free education. If there are goals, then there have to be ways spelled out to achieve those goals. The goal you have listed is a good one (coming from a parent whose main IEP concerns at the beginning were behavioral) only as long as the school lays down their plan to help your son achieve that goal. Short of that, it's just words like "repeat instructions" or "preferential seating" that some Special Education departments add to make it look loaded and well thought out. The goal is to either improve behaviors or provide academic supports or a little of both. Our children are as different as snowflakes and so should there IEPs be. Sharon[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
