The MET team reviews existing documentation on medical, developmental, and functional status/history, as well as previous evaluations. 

Classroom observations, pre-referral interventions and teacher/provider input all go into the documentation, with statewide and language proficiency assessments. MET team members document their agreement to the determination in writing, and if there is disagreement, there needs to be an explaining statement. ]]> 2023-09-25 03:50:36 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelmorris7/k3rwqzpiot99wmh4/wish/2718587137 Literacy Teaching Strategies rachelmorris7 https://padlet.com/rachelmorris7/k3rwqzpiot99wmh4/wish/2718601747 According to, "Helping Students With Moderate and Severe Intellectual Disability Access Grade-Level Text", one strategy is ‘shared story reading’, where a book is read out loud and the student is given frequent chances to interact with the text. Other strategies are adapting text with pictures, shortening text, repeating storylines, rewriting text as a summary, and predictable text structures. 

Text with response options demonstrates comprehension. Definitions can be given for important unfamiliar words. Using the least intrusive prompting system is another suggested strategy. ]]> 2023-09-25 04:04:11 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelmorris7/k3rwqzpiot99wmh4/wish/2718601747 Other Notes rachelmorris7 https://padlet.com/rachelmorris7/k3rwqzpiot99wmh4/wish/2718608919 According to the Maryland Statewide Individualized Education Program (IEP) Process Guide, there are exceptions to what students may be identified as a student with a disability. If the student’s educational performance is a result of a lack of English proficiency, for instance, or due to reading fluency and oral reading skill, they may not be identified as a student with a disability. ]]> 2023-09-25 04:11:36 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelmorris7/k3rwqzpiot99wmh4/wish/2718608919 Eligibility rachelmorris7 https://padlet.com/rachelmorris7/k3rwqzpiot99wmh4/wish/2718660629 Source Link]]> 2023-09-25 04:53:19 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelmorris7/k3rwqzpiot99wmh4/wish/2718660629 Notes rachelmorris7 https://padlet.com/rachelmorris7/k3rwqzpiot99wmh4/wish/2718661675 Source Link]]> 2023-09-25 04:54:05 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelmorris7/k3rwqzpiot99wmh4/wish/2718661675
