The student also has a responsibility to communicate whether the IEP is providing him or her with a meaningful learning experience. All team members are responsible for continually evaluating the effectiveness of the plan. If the student is not progressing, then the IEP Team requests an additional IEP meeting. It is expected that the IEP of a child with a disability will be implemented as soon as possible following the IEP meeting. Additionally, a design and instructional plan to meet goals must be established and instruction and the monitoring of progress must begin.
Documentation is essential throughout the process.
Collaboration and communication take place among parents, teachers, and the student. Services are provided as planned. Services reflect the IEP goals. The student's progress on his or her goals is monitored. Outside agencies which are to provide transition services are monitored.
