It is the responsibility of public school districts to provide eligible students with disabilities a free appropriate public education (FAPE) in the least restrictive environment (LRE) based on the individual needs of the student. Children identified with a disability that adversely effects their education are eligible for special education services through an Individual Education Program (IEP). The IEP is developed by a team that includes the parent/guardian, assessment staff, other professionals working with the child (i.e. CCS therapists, GGRC service coordinator) current teacher, translator as needed and any other representatives the family or district feels would be supportive in developing the program. The following descriptions broadly describe service delivery options available in Early
Education setting to assist in IEP development:
