In this episode of the Collaborative IEP Podcast, I'm Ashley Barlow, your host. We continue our exploration of the IDEA, specifically focusing on Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). Starting with IDEA Part B, Section 1414, we dive into the essential components of IEPs, including present levels of academic and functional performance, writing measurable annual goals, and outlining special education and related services. We discuss the importance of goals being specific, measurable, and tailored to the child's unique needs. I also share personal anecdotes and insights on making IEPs both strength-based and goal-oriented. Join me as we break down these complex but crucial aspects of special education. See you next week for part two!
