I take note of significant changes from their norm. This includes changes in their social interactions, routines, attention span, completion of assignments, and following school/classroom rules. This is the first indication my students may be struggling with something we have yet to include on their IEP.

This helps me to find patterns. For example, the behaviors may be occurring more often during a certain instruction block.

I need to review the BIP again and ensure these new behaviors are not listed within the plan. If they are- I follow the procedures listed on the plan and record data on the data sheets provided by the Behavior Specialist.

My most crucial point of contact is my program's Instructional Specialist. I usually reach out to her first for guidance.

If student has a language impairment the SLP is invited. If student has a BIP the behavioral team attends. If the student has a suspected new disability, most commonly this is Intellectual Disability, then the Psychologist is invited to attend the meeting as well.

Most of my parents are available by phone. I always send a follow-up email with the information discussed and my next steps/plan of action to address the concerns.

Formal assessments for a new disability will be requested and ordered. Over the next few weeks the colleague needed to perform the necessary assessment will reach out to me to schedule a time to meet with the student or request I provide forms.

It is important I rule out language impairment (if not already listed on their IEP) and ensue it is not the main contributing factor for the new concerns.

I review to ensure compliance with the current plan. Making sure I have not missed something that may help me with the current concern I have for the student.

At this point, if I have ruled out behavior or language as the reason for the change in the student, I need to access whether or not they are making progress toward their IEP goals and interventions. I compile the data I have collect thus far and look for the bigger picture or trends.

One of two things will happen.

This has happened before and the student was identified as developmentally delayed and the team agreed he should move to a non-diploma bound program for life skills development.

The team meets to finalize this new IEP and I begin to implement it immediately in my classroom.

If there are concerns, I will reach out to the parent about the lack of progress. I speak to them about what these reports mean when they have questions. Sometimes they reach out to the IEP facilitator too.

I write this IEP to include the necessary accommodations, program modifications and supplementary aids they need to access the curriculum in my classroom. The parent receives a copy of the new IEP 5 days before a final meeting is scheduled. At the meeting the team reviews the new IEP and I immediately begin to implement it in my classroom for the student.
