Section 1414 (d) (3)

(3) Development of IEP

    (A) In general

  • In developing each child’s IEP, the IEP Team, subject to subparagraph (C), shall consider—
    • (i) the strengths of the child;
    • (ii) the concerns of the parents for enhancing the education of their child;
    • (iii) the results of the initial evaluation or most recent evaluation of the child; and
    • (iv) the academic, developmental, and functional needs of the child.

    (B) Consideration of special factors

  • The IEP Team shall—
    • (i) in the case of a child whose behavior impedes the child’s learning or that of others, consider the use of positive behavioral interventions and supports, and other strategies, to address that behavior;
    • (ii) in the case of a child with limited English proficiency, consider the language needs of the child as such needs relate to the child’s IEP;
    • (iii) in the case of a child who is blind or visually impaired, provide for instruction in Braille and the use of Braille unless the IEP Team determines, after an evaluation of the child’s reading and writing skills, needs, and appropriate reading and writing media (including an evaluation of the child’s future needs for instruction in Braille or the use of Braille), that instruction in Braille or the use of Braille is not appropriate for the child;
    • (iv) consider the communication needs of the child, and in the case of a child who is deaf or hard of hearing, consider the child’s language and communication needs, opportunities for direct communications with peers and professional personnel in the child’s language and communication mode, academic level, and full range of needs, including opportunities for direct instruction in the child’s language and communication mode; and
    • (v) consider whether the child needs assistive technology devices and services.

    (C) Requirement with respect to regular education teacher

  • A regular education teacher of the child, as a member of the IEP Team, shall, to the extent appropriate, participate in the development of the IEP of the child, including the determination of appropriate positive behavioral interventions and supports, and other strategies, and the determination of supplementary aids and services, program modifications, and support for school personnel consistent with paragraph (1)(A)(i)(IV).

    • (D) Agreement

  • In making changes to a child’s IEP after the annual IEP meeting for a school year, the parent of a child with a disability and the local educational agency may agree not to convene an IEP meeting for the purposes of making such changes, and instead may develop a written document to amend or modify the child’s current IEP.

    • (E) Consolidation of IEP Team meetings

  • To the extent possible, the local educational agency shall encourage the consolidation of reevaluation meetings for the child and other IEP Team meetings for the child.

    • (F) Amendments

  • Changes to the IEP may be made either by the entire IEP Team or, as provided in subparagraph (D), by amending the IEP rather than by redrafting the entire IEP. Upon request, a parent shall be provided with a revised copy of the IEP with the amendments incorporated.
