Special Education Procedural Support

Individualized Education Program Information:

The procedure by which parents and school staff members develop a written individualized education program (IEP) describing a student’s special learning needs and the special education services to be provided to meet those needs. The IEP team consists of parents; the student, as appropriate; the student’s teacher; a general education teacher if the student participates or may participate in general education classes; a representative of the school system who is qualified to provide or supervise special education services; and others as requested. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and the Virginia special education regulations require that an IEP contain the following:

A statement of the child’s present levels of academic and functional performance, as well as any concerns of the parents.
A statement of measurable annual goals which may also include short-term objectives.
A description of how the child’s progress toward meeting the annual goals will be measured, and when progress reports will be provided.
A statement of the special education and related services and supplementary aids and services to be provided to the student.
A statement concerning the extent to which the student will participate in general education.
A list of required curriculum, testing, and classroom accommodations and modifications.
A statement concerning the extent to which a student will participate in the division wide and statewide assessment programs and accommodations that a student will need during testing. If the student will not participate in the assessments, the IEP must indicate how the student will be assessed.
The date when special services and modifications will begin and the frequency, location and duration of the services.
A statement of needed transition services for students 14 years of age, or younger if determined by the IEP team.
Primary contact person: Principal, special education teacher, or procedural support liaison (PSL).
