Ever wondered how Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) are created? This week Venus speaks with Sandra Walk, a school psychologist at a Canby-area high school. Sandra discusses how to achieve an individualized plan that meets the needs of the student. She describes the difference between an accommodation and a modification.
Team-based decision making is a critical part of the IEP process, and Sandra shares the value of general education teachers being an integral part of the IEP process. Venus and Sandra discuss a flexible approach to data collection and how to make data collection feasible in a classroom setting. Sandra shares accommodations for a variety of students from elementary to high school.
Have you ever wondered when is it okay to modify the curriculum for a student? Sandra explains when to modify without documentation in the IEP and when to notify the case manager. Sandra’s broad experience working from the elementary to high-school level brings clarity to what can be a confusing process of IEPs. Listen in to learn!
