Equitable and Inclusive IEPs for Students with Complex Support Needs - Andrea L Ruppar

. .

Résumé :
Students with complex support needs are at high risk for exclusion from general education and frequently require communication supports, assistive technology, and services from a variety of related service providers. Pre- and in-service educators need guidance on how to develop IEPs for this population. Organized around a process chart and covering each section in the IEP document, this book guides educators to create legally and ethically defensible IEPs that are also person-centered, useful, and meaningful.
