Jedes Kind ist einzigartig, daher muss auch der IEP einzigartig sein

Sonderpädagogik ist ein Unterricht, der speziell auf die besonderen Bedürfnisse eines Kindes mit einer Behinderung zugeschnitten ist. Dies bedeutet, dass der Unterricht individuell entwickelt wird, um die Bedürfnisse eines bestimmten Kindes zu erfüllen, die sich aus seiner Behinderung ergeben.

Daher kann das Individualisierte Bildungsprogramm (IEP) eine der wichtigsten Komponenten für den Erfolg Ihres Kindes sein.

Auf dieser Seite finden Sie allgemeine Informationen, hilfreiche Tipps und Ressourcen zum Herunterladen, die Ihnen dabei helfen, den IEP-Prozess effektiv zu gestalten und die bestmögliche Bildungserfahrung für Ihr Kind zu gewährleisten. Wenn Sie Fragen haben, zögern Sie bitte nicht, uns zu kontaktieren.

Der Schwerpunkt und der Lehrplan variieren je nach Kind

Da jedes Kind einzigartig ist, ist es schwierig, ein allgemeines Beispiel für die Sonderpädagogik zu geben. Einige Schüler arbeiten vielleicht auf der Ebene des Vorkindergartens, andere auf der Ebene der ersten, zweiten oder dritten Klasse. 

Es kann Schüler geben, deren sonderpädagogische Förderung sich in erster Linie auf die Sprachentwicklung, die kognitive Entwicklung oder auf Bedürfnisse im Zusammenhang mit einer körperlichen oder Lernbehinderung konzentriert. Die sonderpädagogische Förderung eines jeden Schülers kann Folgendes umfassen:

Bild eines jungen asiatischen Jungen, der seine Mutter kopiert
Bild eines jungen Mädchens mit Brille, das genau auf strukturierte Tassen schaut

Was der IEP abdeckt und was nicht

Es ist auch wichtig, daran zu denken, dass die Bildung, die Dienstleistungen und die Unterstützung, die im IEP eines Kindes beschrieben sind, nicht notwendigerweise die gesamte Bildung des Kindes abdecken. Der IEP geht nur auf den Bildungsbedarf ein, der sich aus der Behinderung des Kindes ergibt. Wenn ein Kind während des gesamten Schultages und bei allen Aktivitäten sonderpädagogische Unterstützung benötigt, deckt der IEP alle diese Bedürfnisse ab. 

Wenn das Kind in einem oder mehreren Bereichen (z. B. Sport, Musik oder Naturwissenschaften) keine sonderpädagogische Unterstützung benötigt, werden diese Fächer nicht in den IEP aufgenommen. Das Kind erhält Zugang zu diesen Fächern im Rahmen des allgemeinen Lehrplans/der allgemeinen Klasse, ohne dass zusätzliche sonderpädagogische Leistungen erforderlich sind.

The Transition IEP is a plan that focuses on your future. It has your goals and includes the services and supports you need to be successful in school. Your Transition IEP also prepares you for life after school is over. When you are age 14, your team, which includes you and your parents, starts important planning for your future. This is called Transition Planning (moving from childhood to adulthood). The Transition IEP is your plan for reaching your adult goals.

Medical Condition/Clinical Diagnosis vs. Special Education Eligibility & Identification
Parents are often surprised to learn that their child’s medical condition or diagnosis, such as Autism, Dyslexia, Hearing Loss or muscle related disorders does not automatically qualify them for an Individualized Education Program (IEP). Understanding the differences between a medical diagnosis and an educational determination of eligibility for special education services can help families become better advocates for their children.

IEP-Tipps zur Erinnerung

  • JEDES Kind kann lernen und Fortschritte machen.
  • Die Schritte des IEP-Prozesses müssen in der richtigen Reihenfolge befolgt werden.
  • Das "I" in IEP steht für individualisiert. Der IEP für Ihr Kind muss Ihr Kind widerspiegeln.
  • Der IEP sollte spezifisch, detailliert und für jeden leicht verständlich sein - auch für jemanden, der nicht Mitglied des aktuellen IEP-Teams ist.
  • Sonderpädagogische Förderung ist KEIN Ort. Sonderpädagogik ist die Unterstützung und die Dienste, die Ihr Kind im Rahmen seines IEP erhält.
  • Im IEP ist die Einstufung NICHT ein Ort. Die Einstufung ist die Zeit, die mit sonderpädagogischen Leistungen verbracht wird.
  • Aussagen über das derzeitige akademische Leistungsniveau und die funktionale Leistungsfähigkeit Ihres Kindes sind wichtige Bestandteile des IEP. Sie müssen kristallklar und genau sein.
  • Die Ziele müssen logisch, messbar und für Ihr Kind relevant sein.
  • Das IEP-Team sollte zusammenarbeiten, um einen Konsens zu erreichen. Es gibt KEINE Abstimmung!
  • Bleiben Sie konzentriert! Lassen Sie sich nicht ablenken.
  • Die Eltern sind die Konstante - sie sorgen für Kontinuität in einem sich ständig verändernden IEP-Team.
  • Der Mangel an Geld und/oder anderen Ressourcen entbindet einen Schulbezirk nicht davon, die Bedürfnisse eines Kindes zu erfüllen.
  • Verlassen Sie die Sitzung nicht ohne eine Kopie des IEP Ihres Kindes!
  • Laden Sie eine Kopie der IEP-Checkliste der ECAC herunter ... und benutzen Sie sie!
