Having Trouble Writing IEPs?


Good morning,

For me this Monday is especially painful, in Mass we are returning back to school after a week off for February Break. I had a productive week off that ended with my washing machine breaking, so that was stressful. But, such is life!

This week's blog post is about what information to include in the background section on an IEP. It is not a comprehensive list, and it may not align with what your district asks of you, but this is the framework that I use to help me formulate.

Check it Out!

Have a great week!

XOXO
