Vermont Special Education Regulations Survey Results

Comments made by Parents to a Survey Regarding the Proposed Special Education Regulations,
Submitted April 4, 2006

SECTION 3: INDIVIDUAL EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS (IEP)

Graduation

Under the new IDEA, when a student with a disability graduates with a regular diploma or ages out of special education eligibility at age 22, the school district must provide the student with a summary of the student’s academic achievement and functional performance, which must include recommendations on how to assist the child in meeting the child’s post secondary goals.

Neither the proposed federal nor the proposed State regulations describe what the specific content of the summary should be.

Should the Vermont Department of Education create a form as part of the IEP that provides schools with a list of information required to provide the student with a summary of academic achievement and functional performance, including recommendations on how to assist the child in meeting the child’s post secondary goals?

Yes: 48 No: 1 Don't Know: 10

Comments:

Sometime information gets lost in narratives, perhaps a form will help cut through it.

I
t would be helpful for the individual schools to use as guidance

Please read my comments to the above question. Help needs to be there for the parents. It needs to happen each year. Parents need to hear this over and over. We need help. We need support.

Yes, my experience indicates that the more clear ANYTHING is made, the better.

Parents need a lot of help and input such as this could be beneficial. Who might be the people making these recommendations?
