OUR
POLICIES & PROCEDURES FOR SERVICE
We
will be there for you. We do expect you to take an active roll at your childs upcoming IEP meetings. In order for us to help
you help your child receive all the supports and services, and have a well written ACADEMICALLY SOUND IEP written, there is
HOMEWORK to be done way before your next scheduled IEP meeting.

childs education and educational placement.

aka Present Level of Performance. Parents
will do their own informal assessment on their child and email us that information to take to upcoming IEP meetings.

toys to come up with their childs current word list. How many pictures can the child identify, how many words can your
child speech? In English and other languages. How many words does your child know in Sign Language. All this information gives
a better picture of just how well and how much the child knows and can communicate.
