Talk:Individualized Education Program

message: What I don't like about this how the classified people and person with a speech impairment should not be under the same rules as some one with a metal or physical impairment.downtowndontay
Well, you may not like it, but that indeed is how it works. 69.29.207.109 (talk) 19:50, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: One thing wrong

message: There is no such thing in IDEA as an "Individualized Education Plan".  An "IEP" is an "Individualized Education Program".
No their certainly is, trust me, I've been in Special Education a majority of my life and an Individualized Education Plan is indeed real. Deathawk 21:02, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Name dispute

message: I added the  tag to the article because I believe the article to be written in a "how to" not an encyclopedia style.  There is a lot of good information, it just needs to be reworked.  I will attempt to do some additional work on the article in the near future. Assawyer 04:21, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: pronunciation?

message: IEP Creation section includes a couple of subsections that are not part of developing an IEP; rather, they are the steps in qualifying for special education services.  This detailed information information should really go into the special education US article, but it's appropriate to include a summary here.

thread_title: Information misplaced

message: I'm not sure what this section is supposed to be about, or how the content currently in the section relates to the section title.  How is someone intentionally failing an assessment a misconception?
Could someone please clarify the intent here?  Thanks.

thread_title: Revised Components of an IEP section

message: I requested clarification on the intent of this information on June 8 of this year.  Since there has been no response, and since I cannot revise the text without understanding the editor's intent, I'm removing it.

thread_title: Removed Misconceptions section

message: Does anyone know the legal basis in Canada that establishes the IEP?  
I'm thinking that the Canadian law probably isn't identical to what is required by the IDEA in the US, so it probably isn't enough just to cite what this type of document is called in Canada.  The rest of the article is specifically about what the IDEA requires, which is of course specific to the US, so we should also provide specifics about the Canadian law (if we want this article to cover this topic for Canada).  
I'm not sure whether it makes sense to include the legal requirements for both countries in the same article. There is an entire set of articles about IDEA, of which this is one. I don't have a strong opinion about how this should be handled, but we do need to make a decision so that we can implement a similar structure for the other articles that would also apply. 
Are there any Wikipedia articles containing info about the Canadian special education laws?  
Do we want to cover detailed legal issues for two countries in the same article?  
Best,

thread_title:   IEPs  in Canada 

message: I think the section on "Services that may be provided to a child with a disability" would benefit from more examples of program modifications that are common in IEPs.  Does this seem like a good idea to anyone else?  Does anyone have ideas about specific examples? WhatamIdoing (talk) 07:34, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm sorry, this isn't an appropriate place to make requests like this.  It's unwise to publish your home address and phone number on a website, and I have removed it from this page for your safety.  Rather than trying to get advice from a stranger (who is probably completely unqualified and certainly knows nothing about your son's specific situation), why don't you talk to a teacher at your son's school?

thread_title:  need help with my child 

message: Just got turned on to this article, and one major omission, and problem with how the article is written, is that it completely omits any mention of gifted students, and is written as though only disabled students get IEP's.  This is a MAJOR problem that needs addressing.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.33.134.146 (talk) 06:00, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: HUGE problems, content missing, article tone is wrong

message: Is an IEP diploma the same as a certificate of attendance, and should that article be linked? It may be that the IEP diploma is tied to IEP goals in some states, but I believe in NYS an IEP diploma is not tied to those goals and is sometimes called a certificate of completion.  I have no expertise or opinion, but maybe someone can clear this up.LaTeeDa (talk) 20:59, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  IEP diploma 

message: "An IEP is designed to meet the special educational needs of one child, who may have a disability, as defined by federal regulations." I can ask about this at work, but I don't think "may" is correct. A student is labelled with a disability only for the purpose of setting individualized goals, which is what the IEP does. No disability, no IEP. --Strangesad (talk) 01:59, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Addition of Integrated classroom under Determining Appropriate Placement 

message: The article currently is almost all about the U.S. IEP, with brief passing mentions of other countries (most of which don't have anything called an IEP) and two tags saying the article is unbalanced and not worldwide. The tags have been in place for years and seemingly serve no useful purpose. 
I suggest to re-focus the article as follows: Make this an article whose subject is the U.S. IEP system (which it informally already is), and move the information re other countries into an "Other countries" section. Since every country has unique requirements about how to address students with disabilities, and different terms to describe the document that formalizes their education plan, writing an article that tries to cover everything together serves little use.
