This morning I downloaded the IEP CHECKLIST from the iPhone apps to my iPhone. It is free and available to parents, teachers and other professionals who make up the IEP stakeholders group. It can be downloaded by going to the app store on your iPhone or iTunes.
I am confident that parents who attend these meetings will agree that they are often confrontational and challenging. At least they have been in my case. Determining what is best, and/or available to meet the needs of your child is not always what teachers, therapists and other professionals are eager or willing to offer. The best outcome can be achieved by being prepared and informed regarding the rights and services available to successfully advocate for your child at these meetings.
The IEP (individualized education plan) application is well is organized for your use. Categories include team members, notifications, goals, services, supports & aids, student placement, federal regulations, and transition plan to name a few. Each of the categories has more detailed information that can be easily accessed by selecting that portiion of the application, which then takes you to appropriate sub-title options.
This nifty tool will inform and empower parents as they nagivate this (often difficult) process to advocate for their child in developing the best IEP possible. If you have an iPhone I highly recommend it.
Best,
Julie
