IEP / School Support
Navigating the educational system can be challenging for families of children with developmental disorders, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). At Advanced Behavioral Interventions (ABI), we understand the importance of a well-crafted Individualized Education Program (IEP) and the critical role it plays in your child’s academic success. Our IEP/School Support services are designed to help you advocate effectively for your child’s educational needs and ensure they receive the support necessary to thrive in school.
Why IEP/School Support?
An IEP is a legally binding document that outlines the special education services and accommodations a child with a disability will receive in school. However, the process of developing, implementing, and reviewing an IEP can be complex and overwhelming for many families. ABI’s IEP/School Support services provide expert guidance and advocacy to help you navigate this process, ensuring your child’s unique needs are fully understood and addressed.
What We Offer:
IEP Consultation: We work closely with parents and educators to review and assess existing IEPs, identifying areas where additional supports or modifications may be needed. Our goal is to ensure that the IEP is tailored to your child’s specific strengths and challenges.
School Observation: Our team can conduct observations within the school setting to gain a comprehensive understanding of your child’s needs and how they interact with the school environment. This helps us provide informed recommendations to improve your child’s educational experience.
Meeting Support: We offer advocacy and support during IEP meetings, ensuring that your voice is heard and that the educational team is fully informed about your child’s needs. Our experts can help articulate your concerns, suggest appropriate accommodations, and advocate for services that align with best practices in special education.
Ongoing Collaboration: Education is a dynamic process, and your child’s needs may change over time. We provide ongoing support to monitor the effectiveness of the IEP, participate in annual reviews, and make adjustments as needed to ensure continued progress.
