Title overview

IEPs includes step-by-step instructions backed by examples, practice and feedback. It helps you gain the critical skills needed to write legally acceptable IEPs. This essential resource begins with an easy-to-understand summary of IDEA. The IEP process is then broken down into 7 manageable steps. This text is ideal for teacher candidates, in-service educators, parents and IEP team members.

The 4th Edition aligns with the requirements of the Every Student Succeeds Act. It features new cases, sample IEPs and more. There's also further writing level guidance for academic achievement and functional performance (PLAAFP) statements. The text can be used for whole group instruction, out-of-class assignments or independent study.
