The IEP process has multiple steps that must be followed in order for students to get services. When an IEP is created for student, it can make a powerful impact on there education,

The first step in the IEP process is recognizing that the child has need for assessment and referring them for intervention. When comes to recognizing students who are struggling it is up to the teacher or parent. Depending on the age will sometimes depend on where it comes from. If a child is 4-5 (preschool age), school tend to rely on parent communication, if the parent is concerned about anything then a child find will be scheduled to evaluate the child.

The pre-referral activities are employed to screen children before the formal identification procedures are implemented. If the intervention is successful then intervention continues, and the IEP process stops. IF the intervention is not successful then they move forward with a referral to be evaluated.

Once the referral is request that means that the teacher has official referred the student for evaluation for special education services. Referrals come in different sources. “Young achildren who are at risk of having disabilities because of improper prenatal care, low birth weight, accident or trauma during infancy, or child abuse are referred for special services ( Latchet, unknown).” Once the referral is made then an evaluation is done. The evaluation is step in the IEP process is to determine whether a child has a disability or whether special education is required and what type is needed. Tests are conducted to determine child eligibility. To determine this eligibility there is multiple assessments that are done on the child to determine if they have is disability.

If the student does not exhibit a disability that negatively affects their education, special education service are not required for that student. If the determination has been made that the child does have a disability is affecteding their education, student is referred for Sped services and an IEP is written.

When a child has been dertmined for eligibility of sped seriveces an IEP meeting is set with all providers and parent to put in play. The IEP team will meet and develop the indivualized education plan for student, the IEP will decide the Least restrictive environment for the student.
