The Basics of the Individual Education Process
In this session you will become familiar with the process of the Individual Education Plan (IEP) which begins with data collection and creating a description of a student’s present levels of academic achievement and functional performance (PLAAFP). The PLAAFP then helps guide goal recommendations which are monitored for progress throughout the IEP year.
