PROCESS CHART 5 AMENDMENTS TO THE ANNUAL IEP

Things to Remember When Going Through This Process

REMEMBER:  

1. The required members of an IEP Team are outlined on page 4 of this document.
2. In making changes to a student’s IEP after the annual IEP Team meeting for a school year, the parent of a child with a disability or student (age 19 and older) and the public agency may agree not to convene an IEP Team meeting for the purposes of making those changes, and instead may develop a written document to amend or modify the student’s current IEP. Changes to the IEP may be made either by the entire IEP Team at an IEP Team meeting, or by amending the IEP rather than by redrafting the entire IEP. If changes are made to the student’s IEP without a meeting of the IEP Team, the public agency must obtain a parent’s or student’s (age 19 and older) written agreement to such changes and must ensure that the student’s IEP Team is informed of those changes. The proposed changes to the IEP must be enclosed with the Written Agreement between the Parent and the Public Agency to Amend IEP. The parent or student (age 19 and older) shall be provided with a revised copy of the IEP with the amendments incorporated. The parent and student (age 19 and older) shall be provided with a copy of the signed written agreement form and the Notice of Intent Regarding Special Education Services form explaining the revisions.
3. Amendments to the Annual IEP can be made to the existing IEP form.
4. Be sure to inform each teacher and service provider of his/her responsibilities for implementing the child’s IEP and document that this has been done by having each person responsible sign the Persons Responsible for IEP Implementation form.  
5. Develop Annual Goal Progress Report.
6. If amendments to the Measurable Annual Goals have been made, in the Comments section of the Annual Goal Progress Report enter the date of the reporting period the amendments were made and if the actual wording of a Measurable Annual Goal was changed or the Measurable Annual Goal was completely deleted write what the original Measurable Annual Goal stated in this section.
