Meeting held to discuss results
of evaluation with
parent/guardian
Process Ends.
A Meeting is held to discuss the results of evaluation with
parent/guardian. The parent has 2 options at this time:
1) Discuss only the results of the evaluation ONLY (two meetings
will be needed, one to discuss the evaluation, one to discuss
the IEP)
OR…
2) Discuss the results of the evaluation AND hold the IEP meeting
immediately afterward (one meeting)
The IEP meeting must be held within 30 days of the evaluation
The IEP meeting
The IEP team (SLP, parent(s)/guardian, classroom teacher, other supporting teachers
and a representative from the administration – principal/counselor, etc.) discuss the
student’s strengths and needs and develop a plan containing goals for the year.
The student may qualify for direct therapy, based upon the results of the evaluation.
They may also need modifications in the classrooms to accommodate for
speech/language problems – these are called Specially Designed Instruction (SDIs).
A draft IEP will be proposed
The parent(s)/guardian will have an opportunity to add input, ask questions, and
request revisions to the proposal
The IEP proposed is not “active” (modifications and therapies are not provided) until
the parent approves the proposed IEP by signing the Notice of Recommended
Educational Placement or NOREP
