Creating effective Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) requires collaboration among educators, with a focus on the needs of the child rather than the adults involved. Co-teaching and team planning should be emphasized to ensure comprehensive support.
The SMART goals are important because
they give us parameters for creating
helpful and effective IEPs
Time-Bound
Relevant
Achievable
Measurable
Specific
13 Special Education Categories
It is important to have a solid list of these because
that way, we know who qualifies for IEP and special education services.
These categories are:
autism, deaf-blindness, deafness,
emotional disturbance, hearing
impairment, intellectual disability,
multiple disabilities, orthopedic
impairment, other health
impairment, specific learning
disability, speech or language
impairment, traumatic brain
injury, or visual impairment
IDEA gives 13 categories of disabilities
that qualify children for Special
Education services
Accessible IEPs for All
Develop relationships with other teachers and with
the students so that everyone can work together
properly
Co-teaching and team planning are important.
Nothing should be done independently
Everything should be child-centered.
It's not about the teachers or the parents.
It's about the child.

and who does not get service. If these weren't here,
there would be chances for bias and favoritism.
