IEP development process resources

 

The Michigan Department of Education (MDE), Office of Special Education and Early Intervention Services (OSE-EIS) has posted the new state model Individualized Education Program (IEP) Addendum form. The IEP Addendum is to be used when the district and parent agree to minor adjustments to the student’s IEP that do not require a new IEP team meeting.

The state model IEP Addendum form is part of a series of documents, podcasts, and other training resources being provided by the OSE-EIS to implement requirements and practices that are compliant AND focused on results for students.

In addition to the new IEP Addendum form, changes have been made to the previously posted state model IEP form and the IEP Quick Reference Guides for the 2010-2011 school year. These changes to the forms and guides reflect feedback from stakeholders and improve clarity and compliance with the IEP development process.

The IEP Development Process materials can be accessed by visiting the OSE-EIS website. Updates regarding new materials and products will be provided via email. Documents will be revised periodically and the most current materials and products will be available on the OSE-EIS website.
