Course Description

The IEP (Individualized Educational Plan) and the special education process as a whole can be a confusing and overwhelming experience for both families and professionals. Without a clear understanding of this process and the roles and responsibilities of all those involved, it can be very easy to make a misstep that damages relationships with school teams before they even have a chance to begin. In order to most effectively support clients who receive or may potentially receive special education services within the school setting, it is critical for the private BCBA to understand the steps and timelines involved in the assessment and eligibility process, the components of the IEP, and the roles and responsibilities of the IEP team members. With this knowledge, the private BCBA is better equipped to understand their own role within the IEP process and can collaborate more productively with school teams to create and support the best plan for the client's current and ongoing needs.

What You'll Learn

  1. Describe the key components of the Individualized Education Program (IEP) and the special education process.
  2. Identify the roles and responsibilities of IEP team members, including the private BCBA.
  3. Apply knowledge of IEP timelines and processes to effectively advocate for clients receiving school-based services.
