Julie devotes a good bit of her time consulting and providing professional development sessions for CASE and other state and local school agencies and associations.Training DescriptionThe U.S. Supreme Court has referred to the IEP as the “centerpiece” and the “modus operandi” for ensuring the provision of FAPE to students with disabilities. In accordance with the Court’s “Rowley/Endrew” two-pronged test for determining whether an IEP is legally appropriate, due process administrative law judges and courts look to both the procedural and substantive components of the IEP. In this session, we will examine many common IEP pitfalls that educators must avoid—both procedurally and substantively—in an effort to ensure that IEPs are legally defensible and offer FAPE to the students for whom they are developed and implemented.Target AudienceDistrict and school administrators, teachers and related service providers who write IEPsTraining Objectives· Understand the U.S. Supreme Court’s two-pronged test for appraising the appropriateness of an IEP· Understand the lenses applied by Administrative Law Judges when reviewing the appropriateness of an IEP· Increase awareness of potential pitfalls and develop strategies for avoiding them
