The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) lists five special factors the IEP team must consider in developing, reviewing, and revising each child’s IEP. This training will cover the importance of these special factors in the education of children with disabilities and the need for individualized consideration of these factors in IEP development and revision.
As a result of SB 98, a required element of the Individual Education Plan (IEP), all students must have an Emergency Learning Plan in their IEP. More specifically, all IEPs must include a description of how the IEP will be provided under emergency conditions (flood, earthquake, fire, pandemic) when instruction cannot be provided in person to the pupil for more than 10 consecutive school days. Participants will learn/expand their ability to develop a legally defensible Emergency Learning Plan.
