IEP TEAM/SIGNATURES
The Individualized Education Program team makes the decisions about the student’s program and placement. The student’s parent(s), the student’s special
education teacher, and a representative from the Local Education Agency are required members of this team. Signature on this IEP documents attendance, not
agreement.
* The IEP team must invite the student if transition services are being planned or if the parents choose to have the student participate.
** If the student is, or may be, participating in the regular education environment
*** As determined by the LEA as needed for transition services and other community services
**** A teacher of the gifted is required when writing an IEP for a student with a disability who also is gifted.
One individual listed above must be able to interpret the instructional implications of any evaluation results.

For purposes of education, the age of majority is reached in Pennsylvania when the individual reaches 21 years of age. Likewise, for purposes of the Individuals
with Disabilities Education Act, the age of majority is reached for students with disabilities when they reach 21 years of age.
I have received a copy of the Procedural Safeguards Notice during this school year. The Procedural Safeguards Notice provides information about my rights,
including the process for disagreeing with the IEP. The school has informed me whom I may contact if I need more information.
Signature of Parent/Guardian/Surrogate:
I understand that the school may charge the School-Based Access Program (“SBAP”)—or any program that replaces or supplements the SBAP—the cost of certain
special education and related services described in my child’s IEP. To make these charges to the SBAP, the school will release to the administrator of that
program the name, age, and address of my child, verification of Medicaid eligibility for my child, a copy of my child’s IEP, a description of the services
provided and the times and dates during which such services were provided to my child, and the identity of the provider of such services. I understand that
such information will not be disclosed, and such charges will not be made, unless I consent to the disclosure. I acknowledge that I have provided written
consent to disclose such information.
I understand that my consent is ongoing from year-to-year unless and until I withdraw it. I can withdraw my consent in writing, or orally if I am unable to
write, at any time. My refusal to consent or my withdrawal of consent will not relieve the school of the obligation to provide, at no cost to me or my family,
any service or program to which my child is entitled under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (“IDEA”) or that is necessary to enable my child to
receive a free appropriate public education as described in my child’s IEP.
Require me or my family to sign up for or enroll in any public benefits or insurance program, such as Medicaid, as a condition of receiving a free appropriate
public education for my child;
Require me or my family to incur any expense for the provision of a free appropriate public education to my child, including co-payments and deductibles,
unless it agrees to pay such expenses on my or my family’s behalf;
Cause me or my family to pay for services that would otherwise be covered by a public benefits or insurance program and that are required for my child
outside the time that he or she is in school;
Risk the loss of eligibility for home and community-based waivers, based on aggregate health-related expenditures.

Does the student exhibit behaviors that impede his/her learning or that of others?
Yes The IEP team must develop a Positive Behavior Support Plan that is based on a functional assessment of behavior and that
utilizes positive behavior techniques. Results of the functional assessment of behavior may be listed in the Present Levels
section of the IEP with a clear measurable plan to address the behavior in the Goals and Specially Designed Instruction
sections of the IEP or in the Positive Behavior Support Plan if this is a separate document that is attached to the IEP. A
Positive Behavior Support Plan and a Functional Behavioral Assessment form are available at www.pattan.net

Other (specify):
Mathematics: When assessed for mathematics using the Brigance, Ken performed at an age equivalent
level of 4 years and 3 months. He obtained a raw sore of 40/101 and a composite score of 102. He
understands number concepts for the most part and counts by rote up to 13. He is able to compare
different amounts well as well as sort objects by size, color and shape with 100% accuracy, per the
Brigance assessment. He is also able to match most quantities with numerals. He struggles to read
numerals and did not complete any of the items on the Brigance for this objective. He also has a hard
time with solving word problems and scored 1/10 on this objective of the Brigance assessment. He hit
the ceiling on knowing missing numerals in sequences and struggles in this area, having scored 1/12.
This corresponds with the information given in the teacher interview. According to his teacher, he can
count up to 14, is able to identify the numerals 1-3 in print, and is able to identify all colors when
displayed to him but not read their names.
Communication: When assessed for receptive language development using the Brigance, Ken performed
at an age equivalent level of 3 years and 7 months. He obtained a raw score of 91/102 and a composite
score of 104. He is strong in his early receptive language skills and is able to point to pictures and parts
of the body. He also scored well on following verbal directions. He needs some improvement on
understanding verbal concepts and identifying colors, where he only scored 8/16. For expressive
language development, Ken obtained a raw score of 118/128 and a composite score of 112. His early
expressive language skills are strong and is able to do things like use two or three words in combination
and repeat phrases that are said to him. He obtained a perfect score in identifying pictures by name,
identifying parts of the body, verbal fluency, and using grammar and language in context. Areas for
improvement in this domain are identifying colors and articulation. The articulation corresponds with
information provided in the teacher interview. His teacher stated that he needs help in articulation for
some sounds he makes. For example, he often substitutes the letter “c” in place of “t,” so instead of
saying the word “crayon” he will say “trayon.” He is currently receiving RTI Tier 1 Intervention for
speech. 50% of his speech is intelligible.
Social Skills: When assessed for social and emotional development in the interpersonal subdomain using
the Brigance, Ken performed at an age equivalent level of 7 years and 3 months. He obtained a raw
score of 20/21 and a composite score of 119. Ken gives affection, demonstrates warmth when
interacting with adults and demonstrates pride in response to praise. When he was given the
assessment, he interacted with the administrator respectfully. He responds appropriately to directions
from adults and shares his feelings as well. Overall, he demonstrates very positive relationships with
adults. With his peers, he forms temporary attachments to one playmate as well as shows preference
to some friends over others. He has a best friend. He plays cooperatively in group games and

incorporates verbal directions into play activities. He plays games with rules and pretends to have a
career/professional role in play. When assessed in the self-regulatory subdomain of social and
emotional development, Ken obtained a raw score of 28/29 and a composite score of 125. He scored in
the age range equivalent of 6 years and 9 months. He is aware of good and bad behavior in himself and
others. He maintains interest when engaged in a small-group activity and is eager to comply with class
rules and activities. He shows independence and is able to do things for himself and demonstrates
satisfaction with himself. He maintains positive attitudes in activities and listens to feedback given to
him. He demonstrates many prosocial skills and behaviors such as helping to put things away and
performing simple errands. He shows concern for his classmates and is good at taking turns. He gives
as well as takes and participates well in group activities. He offers apologies for his mistakes and
accidents and reacts to disappointment and failure in an acceptable manner.
Gross and Fine Motor Skills: When assessed for gross motor skills using the Brigance, Ken performed at
an age equivalent of 5 years and 9 months. He obtained a raw score of 62/63 and a composite score of
134. He is able to stand on either foot for up to ten seconds as well as stand on one foot with his eyes
closed for one second. He can tiptoe and walk heel to toe as well as toe to heel. He can skip but
cannot gallop without difficulty. He can also hop and jump on either foot, as well as forwards and
backwards. He can throw and catch a tennis ball with both hands. When assessed for his fine motor
skills using the Brigance, Ken placed in the age equivalent of 3 years and 11 months. He obtained a raw
score of 46/107 and a composite score of 95. He can squeak a toy with his hands and can put objects
into a container and take them out. He grasps and releases objects easily and can unwrap them as
well. He imitates a scribble and deliberately pours or dumps objects from their container. He can also
build a tower of 12 blocks. In visual motor skills, he successfully drew a vertical and horizontal line, as
well as a circle and a square. He was unable to draw a plus sign, a rectangle, a triangle, or a diamond
and does not hold a pencil correctly. When drawing a person, he is able to draw the head, eyes, and
legs but does not include the mouth, arms, hair, nose, or any other part of the body. He is able to print
the first letter of his first name but not his entire name or his last name. He can only write the
numeral 1 and cannot print any uppercase letters in sequence from memory.
Adaptive Skills: When assessed for adaptive skills using the Brigance, Ken performed at an age
equivalent of 4 years and 6 months. He received a raw score of 38/48 and a composite score of 99. He
is able to eat on mostly on his own. He can ask for food when hungry and cold a cup with one hand and
drink. He inserts a spoon in his mouth with little or no spilling and without turning it upside down.
Where dressing and undressing are concerned, he can dress completely unsupervised except when his
clothes have many fasteners, such as zippers and buttons. He is also unable to tie his shoes. For
toileting and Bathing, he has bladder and bowel control and can wipe himself and flush the toilet. He
recognizes and acts on his toileting needs but cannot bathe himself without assistance. In the area of
personal information, he knows his first and last name as well as his own age. He doesn’t know his
birthday or telephone number, but he does know his street address. He does not know his complete
mailing address or his year of birth.
How the Student’s Disability Affects Involvement in the General Education Curriculum:
Ken is performing both academically and functionally at an age equivalent of 4 years and 2 months.
This is slightly above his actual age of 4 years and 1 month. Whereas he really exceeds in some areas,
there are other areas such as receptive language, fine motor development, and Literacy where he is
below his developmental level and could see negative impacts on his participation in the general
education curriculum.
Language Development:
The Brigance results indicated that Ken is below his developmental in receptive language. He needs to
be able to identify his colors in order to participate more effectively in class activities where these
concepts need to be generalized. He also needs improvement in understanding verbal concepts such as
the difference from “away from” and “toward.” These improvements can help Ken communicate
better and participate better in class activities.
Academic/Cognitive Development:
The Brigance results indicate that Ken’s literacy scores are below level and he needs additional support
in this domain. He needs to be able to identify the letters of the alphabet and increase his phonological
awareness in order to not struggle with reading in the future. Increased support in this area will allow
Ken to be able to read more efficiently and comprehend text.

III. TRANSITION SERVICES – This is required for students age 14 or younger if determined appropriate by the IEP team. If the student does not attend the
IEP meeting, the school must take other steps to ensure that the student’s preferences and interests are considered. Transition services are a coordinated
set of activities for a student with a disability that is designed to be within a results oriented process, that is focused on improving the academic and
functional achievement of the student with a disability to facilitate the student’s movement from school to post school activities, including postsecondary
education, vocational education, integrated employment (including supported employment), continuing and adult education, adult services, independent
living, or community participation that is based on the individual student’s needs taking into account the student’s strengths, preferences, and interests.
POST SCHOOL GOALS – Based on age appropriate assessment, define and project the appropriate measurable postsecondary goals that address education
and training, employment, and as needed, independent living. Under each area, list the services/activities and courses of study that support that goal.
Include for each service/activity the location, frequency, projected beginning date, anticipated duration, and person/agency responsible.

x As of the date of this IEP, student is NOT eligible for ESY based on the following information or data reviewed by the IEP team:
Ken will be evaluated for ESY services during spring break of the 2020-2021 school year. Regression and recoupment data will be
taken 10 days prior to the break and then 10 days after Ken returns to school. This data will be analyzed to determine whether or
not there is an interruption to Ken’s progress towards his IEP goals that is due to extended time out of the classroom. After this
data has been analyzed, a decision will be made about an ESY placement going into the summer of 2021.
The Annual Goals and, when appropriate, Short Term Objectives from this IEP that are to be addressed in the student’s ESY Program are:

A. QUESTIONS FOR IEP TEAM – The following questions must be reviewed and discussed by the IEP team prior to providing the explanations regarding
participation with students without disabilities.
It is the responsibility of each public agency to ensure that, to the maximum extent appropriate, students with disabilities, including those in public
or private institutions or other care facilities, are educated with students who are not disabled. Special classes, separate schooling or other removal
of students with disabilities from the general educational environment occurs only when the nature or severity of the disability is such that education
in general education classes, EVEN WITH the use of supplementary aids and services, cannot be achieved satisfactorily.
What supplementary aids and services were considered? What supplementary aids and services were rejected? Explain why the supplementary
aids and services will or will not enable the student to make progress on the goals and objectives (if applicable) in this IEP in the general
education class.
What benefits are provided in the general education class with supplementary aids and services versus the benefits provided in the special
education class?
What potentially beneficial effects and/or harmful effects might be expected on the student with disabilities or the other students in the
class, even with supplementary aids and services?
To what extent, if any, will the student participate with nondisabled peers in extracurricular activities or other nonacademic activities?
Explanation of the extent, if any, to which the student will not participate with students without disabilities in the regular education class:
Ken is performing both academically and functionally at the age equivalent of 4 years and 2 months.
There is not a notable disparity between this level and his actual age, therefore Ken’s participation
with students without disabilities will be to the maximum extent possible in the least restrictive
environment. He will be able to participate fully, aside from his weekly pull out sessions with the
special education teacher.
