A preschool Individualized Education Program (IEP) sets out the services and supports necessary for your preschool-age child to learn. Yet it contains much more than a list of services that will be delivered to your child.
When to ask for an IEP for a child with learning differences?
You don’t have to wait until your child starts school to ask about learning differences or developmental delays. Even infants and toddlers can get help through early intervention. A child must be 3 years old to qualify for an IEP. It’s never too early to get help for a child with developmental delays or learning and thinking differences.
Should I put my child’s strengths on my IEP?
This is one area where I see a ton of push-back from the schools, so better to already have it on your IEP. Your end result should be a near perfect IEP when your child is 4 or 5. It should have all of their areas of need identified and be strengths-based.
How do I prepare my child for an IEP/IFSP?
Use the preschool IEP to lay the groundwork. Make sure that the child in front of you is the same child on paper. Make sure that the IEP/IFSP is thorough and accurate and that his every need is identified and addressed.
