EDSP 370 Planning and Implementation of Individualized Plans for Special Education

(3)

Prerequisites: EDSP 303 and EDSP 318
Individualized planning is intended to be carefully designed so that plans reflect what an individual student knows and can do as well as what the student must know and do to successfully progress through the educational system. To that end, this course will prepare candidates in the effective development of pre-referral interventions, initiating the referral process, determining eligibility, writing present levels of academic achievement and functional performance (PLAAPFs), preparing annual goals, developing individualized transition plans (ITP), individualized family service plans (IFSP), individualized education plans (IEP) and overseeing the implementation of such plans. A 25-hour field placement in a special education environment (self-contained and/or inclusive general education classroom) is required.
