IEPs: Writing Quality Individualized Education Programs

IEPs: Writing Quality Individualized Education Programs provides step-by-step instructions backed by examples, practice, and feedback to help you gain the critical skills and knowledge you need to write effective IEPs, meet the standards of IDEA, and ultimately plan instruction for students with disabilities. The text includes an easy-to-understand summary of IDEA 2004; a workable organization of the IEP process into 7 manageable steps; explanations, modeling, practice, and feedback for mastering each step of the process; and a brief procedural summary at the end of each step. The 3rd Edition features the latest information and references in such areas as recognizing and referencing IEPs for a variety of disabilities, genders, and grade levels; basing IEPs on required state or core curricula; phrasing goals that address standards, while also meeting the needs of students performing below-grade level; and understanding the role of Response to Intervention in addressing needs in the general classroom.
