ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER
In addition, the IEP should address the following questions:
- What are the most important skills/strategies/behaviors this student will need to learn, and how can we quantify or measure these objectives?
- cognitive objectives
- behavioral/psychological objectives
- sensorimotor/physical objectives
- academic objectives
- post-secondary and vocational objectives
- independent living options
- What strategies/behaviors will best help this student learn these skills? How should we modify the information and our presentation of it to best teach the student?
- retraining strategies
- compensatory strategies
- modification of materials and teaming strategies
- new teaming (metcognitive) strategies
- ways to help the student understand his/her injury
- Where should this student learn these skills/strategies behaviors? How do we need to modify the teaming environment to meet the needs of the student? How do we ensure that we are continually integrating the student into the least restrictive, most appropriate environment?
- self-contained environments
- transitional environments
- integrated school settings
- community-based settings
- How will teachers and families know that these skills/strategies/behaviors have been learned?
- standardized testing
- functional assessments
- home community-based environments
- How can teachers and families ensure that these skills/strategies/behaviors will be generalized by the student?
- classroom-to-classroom transitions
- school-to-school transitions
- school-to-home transitions
- home-to-work/community transitions
