IEP AMENDMENT(S) / ADDENDUM PAGE
IDEA Section 614(d) (3) (D) In making changes to a child’s IEP
after
the
annual IEP meeting
for a school year, the parent(s)/guardian/surrogate/adult student of
the
child with a disability and the LEA may agree not
to
convene an IEP meeting for the purposes of making such
changes, and instead develop a written document
to
amend or modify the child’s current IEP.
IDEA Section 614(d) (3) (F) Changes
to the IEP may be made either by the entire IEP Team
by amending the IEP
rather than by redrafting the entire IEP. Upon request, a
parent(s)/guardian/surrogate/adult student shall be provided with a revised copy of the IEP with the amendments incorporated.
• Serves as the option for making minor amendments to the IEP
if the parent(s)/guardian/surrogate/adult
student
and district agree that a meeting is not needed (adding additional DIS LSH minutes after a phone conversation with the parents and agreement with school staff, etc.)
• Attach this form to current
IEP
after getting signature from
parent(s)/guardian/surrogate/adult
student.
• Districts need to designate who can serve as the LEA representative. LEA
representative is authorized to approve the amendments.
• Parent(s)/guardian/surrogate/adult student may request a copy of the IEP with the
amendments incorporated.
Educational Benefit
Reminder
- Is the amendment clear?

student and staff agree on the
amendment?
- Are all affected staff (special
education teacher(s), DIS provider(s),
