<p>In this episode of the Collaborative IEP podcast, we finally finish Section 1414, specifically focusing on subsection D, which covers the development of the IEP. We’ll discuss the four essential considerations for the IEP team, including the strengths of the child, parental concerns, evaluation results, and the child's academic, developmental, and functional needs. The episode also explores special factors that must be considered, such as behavior, limited English proficiency, and assistive technology needs. Additionally, I provide insights on the role of the general education teacher, ways to amend the IEP, and the importance of parental participation in placement decisions. The episode concludes with discussions on transition objectives and the involvement of other agencies, as well as provisions for electronic meeting participation. We put in a lot of work in Section 1414! Excited to keep plugging away next week! </p><p>00:00 Introduction and Overview</p><p>00:42 Key Considerations for Developing an IEP</p><p>03:15 Special Factors in IEP Development</p><p>04:30 Behavioral Considerations in IEPs</p><p>08:33 Communication and Assistive Technology Needs</p><p>11:15 Role of General Education Teachers in IEPs</p><p>13:59 Amending and Reviewing IEPs</p><p>29:23 Transition Objectives and Responsibilities</p><p>32:55 Final Provisions and Conclusion</p>

<p>Welcome back to the Collaborative IEP podcast! I'm thrilled to be back after my spring break. In this episode, we continue our exploration of Section 1414 of IDEA, focusing on evaluations, eligibility determinations, individualized education programs, and educational placements. We delve into the specifics of the IEP team, its necessary members, and the complex scenarios when attendance isn't necessary or members can be excused. I also share why parents and certain specialists are critical to the process. Transitioning districts and the procedures involved, especially for military families and children aged three to five, are thoroughly discussed. Join me as I navigate through this essential section of IDEA and get ready for our next episode where we will dive into the development of the IEP.
