IEP #2
Background: An 11th grade student who attends a public high school has been struggling with self-advocacy skills. The student’s grades have been suffering because the student is not asking for help with the work. The student does not consistently wear hearing aids and requires an ASL interpreter in all classes. You are the student’s itinerant teacher and you see the student 5 days of the week for 45 minutes each time.
Below write two D/HH goals for the student.
| Deaf/Hard of Hearing Goal: |
| Objective 1: |
| Objective 2: |
| Deaf/Hard of Hearing Goal: |
| Objective 1: |
| Objective 2: |
The annual IEP meeting is in two weeks, you believe that the child needs more services. You feel that the 5 days a week for 45 minutes each is not enough. You are proposing 5 days a week for 90 minutes each day. You are getting some resistant from the parents and your IEP Chair about increasing the service time. What data can you collect in the next two weeks to justify your proposal? Please write your answers in the box below. (Limit: Under 300 words).
IEP #3
You are coming into a new school system. You got little information here and there about a particular student and his family. You find out that the school and the family are stuck in a disagreement about services for the child. The previous DHH teacher didn’t help matters by skipping out on scheduled sessions and showing up to IEP meetings unprepared. Explain how you would approach this situation and what measures would you take to improve the relationship between the school and the family. (Limit: Under 300 words).
