SCHOOL-AGE PRESENT LEVEL OF ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AND FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE
Parent Input
Describe the parent’s input, concerns, and priorities for their child’s education. The input and concerns from parents and students must be considered in the development of the IEP. The IEP team should specifically record input from parents and student.
Student strengths, interest areas, significant personal attributes, and personal accomplishments
Strengths may include a relatively strong area for the student; a strength when compared to peers, or particular motivational or interest area. Statements about the student’s strengths can support instructional decisions related to motivation, learning styles, and learning preferences. If the student’s strength is supported by the use of supplemental aids and services including assistive technology, the IEP team should document that information.
How the student’s disability affects his/her involvement in the general curriculum?
Describe how the student’s disability specifically impacts his or her involvement and progress in the general curriculum.
Think in terms of “if-then” statements. (i.e., if there is a concern, then what is the impact on the student’s participation and progress in that area?)
