Thursday | February 13, 2025 • 2 - 3:30 p.m. ET
REGISTER NOWIEP professional development tends to focus on filling in the boxes in the IEP document. This webinar goes deeper to focus instead on the foundation of effective, legally compliant IEPs: appropriate evaluations.
Attorney Deanna Arivett will start by reviewing the IDEA's evaluation, IEP, and FAPE requirements. She’ll then use that legal framework to teach you how to conduct comprehensive evaluations so you can use those evaluations to write compliant IEPs that identify all of a student's special education needs.
You’ll learn how to identify and obtain the evaluation data needed to develop IEPs that promote student growth, and how to connect the dots between student deficits, IEP goals, and student progress to see substantive change with students.
Along with the types of assessment tools available and when to use each one, you will leave equipped to:
- Discuss student needs, not just suspected disabilities, when determining what assessments are needed for initial evaluations and reevaluations
- Choose appropriate evaluation tools that will accurately assess the student's needs
- Interpret the results of formal and informal assessments to determine the student's strengths, weaknesses, and needs
- Use evaluation data to make decisions, develop goals, and develop services during the
IEP process - And more
