Question

You have accepted a new special education position in a new K-Grade 5 school. As you are preparing for the assessment and IEP development of a child receiving services for delays in multiple areas of development, you are informed by one of the IEP team members that she does not feel a need to collaborate with the other team members because her area of service is not affected by the other developmental areas being evaluated. How would you handle this situation? Why did you choose to handle it the way you did?

Explanation / Answer

In an IEP development plan, teachers, parents, school administrators, and service professionals collaborate to design an effective education plan for individuals with special abilities. In this situation, I would help the IEP team member to understand the need for an integrated approach for the IEP. I will also make the team member believe that there is a need to find synergies between all development areas and work together.
