IEP Team
The parent plays a vital role on the IEP team, along with
educators and other qualified professionals. This team works
collaboratively to develop the child's IEP. Information gathered during the
evaluation
process, sometimes referred to as a multifactored evaulation or MFE, will be
used in the development of the special education services and supports
to address the unique learning needs of your child. The IEP team
includes:
Parent(s) or legal guardian
At least one regular education teacher (if the child is participating in
regular education classes)
At least one special education teacher or provider, such as a therapist
A representative of the school district, such as an administrator
An individual who can explain the results of the evaluation and what it
means for instruction, such as a school psychologist
An individual with knowledge or special expertise about the child, such as
an advocate or private health care provider, at the discretion of the parent or
school
The child, whenever appropriate
