IEP Form – 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 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 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) 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).

 

·         Districts need to designate who can serve as the LEA representative. LEA representative is authorized to approve the amendments.

 

·         Parents may request a copy of the IEP with the amendments incorporated.

 

   Educational Benefit Reminder  

o        Is the amendment clear?

o        Do the parents and staff agree on the amendment?

o        Are all affected staff (special education teacher(s), DIS provider(s), general education teacher(s), etc.), including the LEA representative, informed of the amendment/change?
