      Requirements of an IEP
  • The 1997 Amendments (Pub. L. 105-17) made these changes: Students with disabilities who exhibit less serious infractions of school conduct may be disciplined in ways similar to children without disabilities (including a change in placement) provided that the misbehavior was not a manifestation of the student’s disability. IEPs are now required to state how the student with disabilities will be involved with and progress in the general education curriculum. Transition planning now begins at age 14. Regular educators became part of the IEP team. Benchmarks and measurable annual goals are emphasized. Assistive technology needs of the student are considered by the IEP team. Orientation and mobility services for children with visual impairments are added to the definition of related services. States are required to offer mediation services to help resolve disputes. A variety of assessment tools and strategies are to be used in an effort to gather relevant functional and developmental information. Students with disabilities are included in statewide and districtwide assessment programs or given alternative assessments that meet their unique needs.

  • When speaking, make sure the student can see your face and avoid unnecessary pacing and moving. When speaking, avoid obscuring your lips or face with hands, books, or other materials. Repeat discussion questions and statements made by other students. Write discussion questions/answers on a whiteboard or overhead projector. Speak clearly and at a normal rate. Use visual aids with few words and large images and fonts. Provide written outlines, assignments, instructions, and demonstration summaries and distribute them before the class or other presentation when possible.
  • direct your speaking style and adjust the "pace" of instruction to make information more accessible to a student with a hearing impairment.
  • Some students who are hard of hearing may hear only specific frequencies or sounds within a certain volume range.
  • They may have difficulty following lectures in large halls, particularly if the acoustics cause echoes or if the speaker talks quietly, rapidly, or unclearly. People who have hearing impairments may find it difficult to simultaneously watch demonstrations and follow verbal descriptions, particularly if they are watching a sign language interpreter, a captioning screen, or a speaker's lips. Small group discussions may also be difficult to follow or participate in, particularly if the discussion is fast-paced and unmoderated, since there is often lag time between a speaker's comments and interpretation.
