IEP_Scenario

The dramatic interpretation that you will see today illustrates the process of conducting an IEP meeting. The meeting will center around Paul Rodriguez, an eight year old student who is in 3rd grade. Paul's general education teacher has been observing him for several months, and is concerned with his lack of progress in language arts, particularly in the area of writing. Pauls teacher has attempted several intervention strategies to help him, and has seen little improvement. She has conferenced with Paul's mother a few times regarding her concerns and Paul's mother agrees that he might need some extra help. The general education teacher referred Paul for assessment for special education. The assessments were completed, and an IEP meeting was scheduled. Paul's parents were notified and plan to attend. Paul's mother is cooperative and interested in helping Paul, but is concerned about him being put in a special education class.
