Topic:  Individualized Education Program (IEP):  Connecting the Dots:  The Evaluation Process, the Development of the IEP and Monitoring for Progress

Explore the development of the Individualized Education Program (IEP).  What does the Evaluation Report (ER) have to do with the IEP development?  Who decides the IEP goals?  How are the goals determined? What is my role as a parent in the development of the IEP.  What are Related Services and Assistive Technology (AT) and how might these services benefit my child?  What if my child has an IEP but doesn’t seem to be making progress…

Join us to learn about IEP development, the various components of the IEP and my important role as a parent and IEP Team Member.

Our email: elkins-park@chadd.net (as a volunteer, I may not be able to provide immediate assistance, please see below if you need immediate assistance)

Help! Do you need immediate assistance?

Do you need information and resource help? As a volunteer, I try to respond as quickly as possible to all requests about our local CHADD group.

However, if you have a more pressing need for information or assistance about the many aspects of dealing with AD/HD (including diagnosis, treatment options, educational rights, etc.), please contact CHADD’s National Resource Center on AD/HD (NRC), online at www.help4adhd.org or by phone at 800-233-4050 (press option 2, Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm Eastern time).

The NRC is staffed by trained Health Information Specialists who can answer many of your questions about AD/HD and provide other helpful information and resources. (NOTE: although the NRC does not provide legal, medical or other professional advice, Specialists can offer ideas and suggestions to help you find what you are looking for).

Community resources and national resources: We will soon have a list of local non-profit organizations, national organizations and CHADD professional and organizational members who have requested to be in our directory in the area in the links section.
