Michigan Department of Education Office of Special Education (MDE-OSE) has released new guidance to support the development of an IEP.
IEP Development: Special Education Programs and Services www.michigan.gov/mde/-/media/Project/Websites/mde/specialeducation/iep/IEP_Development_SpecialEdu...
The purpose of this document is to support the development of an IEP based on the unique needs of the student, which are described in the Present Level of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance (PLAAFP).
Development starts with the PLAAFP and then based on the description of need, supports are identified. The supports include special education programs and services necessary to meet the needs of the student and ensure progress.
As a reminder, parents must be members of any group that make decisions on educational placement of their child.
