ETR/IEP Review
The Evaluation Team Report (ETR) is a long, comprehensive document that is compiled by your child’s education team at the request of the parent/guardian. It may include insights and evaluations from special education teachers, physical/occupational/speech therapists, school psychologists, and others.
​
In order for children to receive services, they need an IEP. Once the ETR is completed, if it is determined that your child is eligible for special education services in one of the 13 categories, then the school district of residence will hold a meeting with you and write an Individualized Education Program (IEP).
The IEP includes a summary of your child’s current academic needs, annual goals for the child and descriptions of how progress will be monitored, and descriptions of special education, related services, modifications, and accommodations that will be implemented. Examples might include extra time for testing, the use of assistive technology, visual and/or verbal cues, or related services such as occupational or speech therapy.
We will conduct a thorough review to ensure your student is receiving the most appropriate interventions and support.
