Each month, IEP Team Trainer^® delivers all the tools you need to direct your district’s IEP mission -- and ensure you create legally sound IEPs that meet your students' educational, developmental and behavioral needs.

You get practical advice on how to understand and comply with the IDEA's procedural and substantive requirements for both the IEP process and the document your team produces. And, you learn techniques to lead the team, achieve consensus, defuse tension and enhance communication among IEP team members, staff and parents — so you can minimize disputes during and after the process.

Take a look at the types of guidance you can expect from IEP Team Trainer^®:

• Determining the required IEP team members for a particular child
• How to handle transfer IEPs of incoming students
• Where your IEP teams can find peer-reviewed research
• Knowing when IEPs must be modified to prevent regression in the child’s home
• When and how IEP team members can be excused from a meeting
