Part 2: Video Script Hello dear parent/guardian, My name is Amos N. I’m a social studies educator for grades 6-8. I understand that you have agreed to the evaluation of your child for the eligibility of special education. In this video, I will discuss some of the key components of IDEA and the IEP process. Parent/guardian and student involvement in the IEP process The importance of parent and student involvement in the IEP process cannot be overlooked. IDEA was developed with the aim of full and substantial partnership with families. You are an equal member of the IEP team and are required by the law to engage in every step of the special education process. IDEA further requires your child to be included in the IEP process to the extent appropriate before he or she turns 15 years old. At 15 and above, student engagement in the special education process is mandatory. Referral The referral process is when you as the parent/guardian request that your child be evaluated for special education. IDEA requires local public districts to identify and assess each child who might have a disability that necessitates special education services in a process known as Child Find. The Child Find director then gives guidelines on which school the referral should be addressed. The school reviews the referral details and responds in one of three ways: recommends that your child be assessed to determine whether he or she needs a complete evaluation, directs that the child proceeds to a Full and Individual Initial Evaluation (FIIE), or declines to do an evaluation. Evaluation

The evaluation process entails diverse measures and tests to determine whether a child has a disability. The district evaluator determines whether a disability is present as well as writes a report describing what your child should do and what the child requires help doing. If your child’s evaluation discloses a disability, the subsequent stage involves meeting with school district representatives. This meeting aims to find out whether the disability causes your child to require special services to succeed in education. Eligibility If your child is eligible for special education, the IEP team will write an IEP that comprises yearly objectives and approaches for specialized and individualized learning, which best supports the child socially, developmentally, and educationally. Components of the IEP To guarantee that children with disabilities receive suitable and individualized learning, IDEA requires that, after evaluation and eligibility determination, the IEP team establishes the IEP in a written document, designed to fulfill the unique academic needs of each student with a disability. The IEP must have the following eight components: 1. A statement of present levels of educational performance 2. A statement of measurable annual goals 3. A statement of how the child will be assessed (monitor progress) 4. A statement of special education and related services 5. An explanation of the extent to which the student will not participate with non-disabled students. 6. Individual modifications 7. The projected data for the beginning and duration of services

8. Beginning at age 16, an individual transition plan must be developed Expectations for ongoing communication between the teacher, school, and parent/guardian to support the development and achievement of the student Due to the ins and outs of the IEP process, it is important to keep open lines of communication between you as a parent/guardian, me as the teacher, and the school administration. I would like to keep in contact with you about your child’s progress and any academic achievements or behavioral issues. Your child is important to you, and I want you to know that they are equally important to me. I want to build an attachment in which we can communicate often and when needed concerning your child. I encourage you to reach out with any questions or issues as I will do the same on my end. Discussion of the ethical responsibilities the teacher has as to uphold the integrity of the profession as part of the IEP process Finally, I would like to underline that your child’s personal information will be kept confidential and will only be shared with essential personnel. My job is to keep your child safe, and I intend to exactly do that. I will uphold all professional and ethical principles when it comes to working with you and your child during this IEP process. I hope that you are now much more enlightened. I wish you and your child the best experience in the IEP process.
