 You know that IEPs must include “a statement of measurable annual goals, including academic and functional goals..."
Broad goal statements are not good enough! Your child's IEP does not pass muster if the goals are not SMART!
Facts first.
- IEPs must be reviewed annually. (March 29)
- Parents are part of the team that develops and reviews the IEP. (April 5)
- IEP goals should be specific, measurable, and tailored to the unique needs of your child.
- Parents can request an IEP review or revision at any time.
In this issue of the Special Ed Advocate you will learn why SMART Goals in the IEP are so important. Find out how Present Levels are used to develop measurable goals to meet your child's unique needs and to get an appropriate program and placement.
We hope you will forward this issue to other friends, families, or colleagues.
