Emma's IEP includes services for speech, occupational therapy, and resource room support, which shows the school recognizes her needs across multiple areas. However, several goals use vague language that makes it difficult to measure real progress. The speech therapy section is missing frequency details, and there's no documentation of whether Extended School Year services were considered.

Action Plan
Key concerns to discuss with the IEP team
  • HIGHVague goal language in reading fluency

    Without specific, measurable criteria, it's hard to track whether your child is actually making progress.

  • HIGHMissing speech therapy frequency details

    The IEP mentions speech therapy but doesn't specify how many minutes per session or sessions per week.

  • MEDIUMNo Extended School Year (ESY) discussion documented

    ESY services prevent regression over summer breaks — the team should document why ESY was or wasn't recommended.

  • MEDIUMSocial skills goal lacks baseline data

    Without knowing where Emma started, there's no way to measure meaningful progress on social interactions.

Services
  • Speech-Language Therapy2x per week, 30 min
