This guide was designed to serve as a reference document for developers of individualized education programs (IEPs) for students with disabilities in Georgia. Specific procedures and responsibilities of the student support team during the processes of identification, intervention, and evaluation are outlined. The first section covers the student support team (SST) process. This section discusses planning of alternative instructional strategies for students experiencing academic and/or behavioral difficulties, prior to or in lieu of referral to special education. The section on identification provides information on parent notification, screening, individual or group assessment, observation, and eligibility determination. The section on intervention covers the development of IEPs, placement in the special education program, and implementation of the IEP. The final section is on evaluation and discusses development of criteria for mastery of each IEP objective, evaluation measures, periodic review, comprehensive reevaluation, and exit criteria. Extensive attachments provide additional detail on parental rights, the IEP program self-study, and transition services as well as a glossary, sample forms, a policy paper, checklists, and eligibility reports.
