Innovative Practices in IDEA Implementation – Tools to guide an educational vs. medical model of service delivery
Session Summary:
Have you ever wondered while sitting in an IEP meeting discussing need, how quickly related services add up? Is this more-is-better approach confusing quantity with value; providing isolation of services; and, most importantly, is it educationally relevant and necessary? As we develop IEPs, teams must work together to provide appropriate education for students with disabilities and be aware of the purpose and parameters of providing related services.
Session Description:
Have you ever wondered while sitting in an IEP meeting discussing need, how quickly related services add up? Is this more-is-better approach confusing quantity with value; providing isolation of services; and, most importantly, is it educationally relevant and necessary? As we develop IEPs, teams must work together to provide appropriate education for students with disabilities and be aware of the purpose and parameters of providing related services. The “magic” doesn’t occur in the quantity model, it manifests when the quality of services and related supports for a student do not belong solely to the related service provider. Related means connected, so related services MUST be directly linked to the current services being provided to enable the student to make progress. Isolation of related direct services with no connection to the IEP goals and services is a siloed medical model and not appropriate for the educational environment.
Learner Objectives:
Increase confidence that support service decisions are educationally relevant and necessary
Apply essential criteria when making service recommendation ensuring educational relevance and necessity
Review methods for collaborative, team-based decisions for services
Speaker:
