Download or read book An Exploration of the Dynamics and Collaboration Within Individualized Educational Program Teams written by Shelley L. Spessard and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEIA) (2004) mandates the establishment of an educational team that convenes once a year if not more to review and adjust each exceptional studentʹs Individualized Education Program (IEP). There are a variety of social and political characteristics of the team that impact the decisions that are made on behalf of individual students. IEP teams are charged with operating as equal decision-making members. This study explored the nature of collaboration among IEP team members and took a closer look at how IEP team members perceived both their own contribution and the contribution of other members. It also examined how IEP team membersʹ beliefs, experiences, and characteristics contributed to their role on the IEP team. The findings in this study indicated that there is a need to develop clearer definitions of IEP team member roles, and opportunities for professional development are needed to develop educated and prepared team members who work collaboratively to develop IEPs that meet the needs of students with special needs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Working with Students with Disabilities: Preparing School Counselors by Vicki A. McGinley and Barbara C. Trolley is an essential tool for all school counselors in training and in practice with the aim to provide a comprehensive approach to working with students with disabilities in a school setting. As more students with disabilities are being included, school counselors need to have a fundamental understanding of the terminology, laws, principles, collaboration, assessment measures, and psycho-social, diversity issues associated with special education. This book continues in the trend of providing sound, evidenced-based knowledge with practical case examples and guided exercises, making the material 'come alive' and fostering critical thinking. “Finally, a book FOR school counselors that specifically addresses the needs of students with disabilities and how we can interface with the team in supporting these students.” –Nona Cabral, California Baptist University “McGinley and Trolley have brought together in one exceptional volume the vast material that modern school counselors often leave the classroom searching for – how to understand the complexities of the system in regards to students with special needs, how to best collaborate with professionals and families in meeting those needs, and how to best structure interventions and programs to move those students forward across social, emotional, and academic realms.” –Carrie Lynn Bailey, Georgia Southern University “McGinley and Trolley have crafted a text that illuminates the multifaceted responsibilities of school counselors relevant to special education. Faculty, graduate students and practicing counselors alike will find the problem-based learning approach a helpful guide for integrating the content covered in this text into their professional practice.” –Kylie P. Dotson-Blake, East Carolina University “Special education students are frequently the most marginalized group on school campuses. Working with Students with Disabilities: Preparing School Counselors points to ways school counselors can open pathways for creating a learning community that supports all students.” –Rolla E.

Download or read book In the Best Interests of the Child written by Edward Feinberg and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Individual Education Program (IEP) teams are composed of diverse individuals, each bringing a unique set of experiences, knowledge, and skills to the table. Given this, it is not uncommon for team members to have different views on the special education and related services needs of the student whose plan is being developed. When divergent views between families and local educational agency (LEA) staff cause deadlock in the IEP process, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) makes available a continuum of dispute resolution options. These options range from collaborative approaches, e.g., mediation, to more adversarial ones, such as written State complaints and due process hearing requests. These processes focus primarily on anticipated dissension across the table between families and educators. IDEA does not address instances when the child's parents are disputing with each other. What happens when tensions between the child's parents undermine the IEP process? The purpose of this publication is twofold: (1) to assist the reader in better understanding the problem; and (2) to highlight both preventative and responsive strategies for IEP teams when parents or caregivers are having difficulty working together. Children's best interests are served when all members of the IEP team cooperate to design the IEP. Properly prepared and appropriately skilled IEP team members--administrators, educators, related service providers, the student, and parents alike--can improve the dynamics and interactions among team members in service of this goal. The information, strategies, and approaches presented herein were drawn from a variety of sources, including research on the effects of parenting a child with a disability on parent and family relationships, literature on conflict resolution practices, and data collected through surveys and interviews with a cross-section of IDEA stakeholders from around the United States. The following are appended: (1) Parental Conflict and Special Education Decision Making Survey; (2) Individuals Interviewed; (3) Contending with Family Conflicts in Part C of IDEA; (4) LEA Self-Assessment--Suggested Steps; (5) CADRE Publications; (6) Consensus Development Conference; (7) Checklist for IEP Meeting Preparation For LEA Staff; (8) Checklist for IEP Meeting Preparation For Family Members; (9) Checklist for IEP Meeting Preparation For Advocates & Attorneys; (10) Checklist for IEP Meeting Preparation For Facilitators; and (11) References.
