INDIVIDUALIZED EDUCATION PROGRAM (IEP)


The education of each of the students at the Illinois School for the Visually Impaired is driven by an Individualized Education Program (IEP) developed for that child by a multi-disciplinary team at ISVI. This educational plan is developed and reviewed with each parent annually and/or as needed, and may be altered, renewed, or maintained in consultation with educators, educational administrator(s), parent(s), and the local school district.

The IEP is a written statement for a student with a disabling condition that provides a statement of the following:
        • the student's present levels of educational performance
        • annual goals and short-term instructional objectives
        • specific special education and related services
        • the extent of participation in the basic special education program
        • the projected dates for initiation of services
        • anticipated duration of services
        • appropriate objective criteria and evaluation procedures
        • a schedule for annual determination of short-term objectives
        • transition program planning for all students age 14 and older

Each IEP is specific and individualized according to the student's range of ability and potential. The Local Education Agency (LEA) and parents are invited and encouraged to attend the IEP conference. If attendance is not possible, they are encouraged to participate via telephone conference. A draft copy of the student's IEP is forwarded for review to the parents and participants before the IEP, and a final copy of the completed IEP is sent to the parents and LEA when the meeting is complete.
