As you work with your child with SEN growing skills at home and in the community, you will also want to know what skills are being acquired in the classroom. It’s through connecting these different worlds that you and your child’s teachers can strengthen your child’s learning.
An Individual Education Plan (IEP) is a key feature of the educational journey of a student in a Special Education (SPED) school. Really useful IEPs are those developed collaboratively by the school and family. In the infographic below, find out what the IEP is, and how you can be involved in the IEP process in identifying your child’s preferences, interests, needs and strengths and developing goals in and beyond the school context.
Sometimes developing an IEP can feel a little overwhelming. Take it one step at a time. Your child’s IEP is a work in progress. And with each conversation with your child’s teachers, you can build on the IEP and strengthen it. Reflecting on the IEP, you can celebrate every success – big and small – as your child grows in skills and confidence!
