Special Education

Paper Summary:

The Special Education Program at Reed High School is presently and has always been a priority at the school. This paper examines how the school principal works with her team to establish an excellent program that caters to the needs of all children. The paper looks at the program within the framework of the requirements of law and analyzes legislation such as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 1990 (IDEA), and others.

From the Paper:

"After an evaluation has taken place and the results are produced then an individualized program (IEP) must be designed for each student with disabilities. This type of evaluation process may require more than one meeting and requires that the parent, the teacher, administrator, and special education case manager be present for the evaluation team to respond to the questions and interpret results. An IEP must consider several concepts that insure that each individual student will be provided an education plan specific to his/her needs."
