The Facilitated IEP Process

What is a Facilitated IEP Meeting? 
A Facilitated IEP meeting is developed by IEP Team members with collaboration in mind. The goal is to have members of the team participate fully and share responsibility for the meeting process and results. Decision-making is managed through the use of facilitation skills.
 
The purpose of a Facilitated IEP Meeting is to:
  • Build and improve strong relationships among all team members;
  • Reach true consensus;
  • Focus the IEP content and process on the needs of the individual student;
  • Exercise an efficient, guided meeting process where effective communication and reflective listening are practiced. 
 
Do you have concerns about your child’s special educational services?

Remember, you are not alone in this journey. You are encouraged to contact your child’s teacher or administrator to discuss your child and any problems you see. Staff at your child's school are there to answer questions about your child’s education, your rights, and procedural safeguards. Also, when you have a concern, this informal conversation often solves the problem and helps to maintain open communication. If you have further concerns, please contact your school site administration team.
