Educators and parents of special needs students engage in a process leading to the development of an Individualized Education Plan (IEP), which is the underlying document guiding the school's effort to lead each student to reach his or her greatest potential. Our speaker, NETA member Lunie Jacques, will explain various aspects of the process involved in developing an IEP. Some key questions: What Massachusetts regulations come into play? What different types of IEP meetings exist, and what does one need to know before meetings take place? Who is present at team meetings? What terminology is involved when translating IEP documents candor interpreting during IEP meetings? What is the interpreter's role when interacting with LEP parents and with educators? Lunie will provide tips for interpreters working in the IEP context and suggest pertinent resources.
