2.1 | Agenda

Introduction

This week we will look at the process for Special Education and how collaborating with a team while creating a student's IEP is so very important. We will examine the parts of an IEP, how an IEP guides the goals and needs of the student, and how the important members of an IEP team come together for the benefit of the student.
