Transition Planning & Developing IEPs

Catalog description

This clinical course focuses on the components and processes involved in developing Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). Under the supervision of a supervising practitioner, students review school records, observe IEP team meetings, consult with district evaluators, students, and parents, analyze previously written IEPs and progress reports, and develop the skills necessary to prepare IEPs that include transition plans. During the culminating activity of the course, students develop an IEP and transition plan as a vehicle for exploring the legal and ethical considerations and implications in the development, implementation, and evaluation of IEPs.
