IEP Annual Review (YAY)

[dixienormous]

We just had PF's IEP annual review and it was great. Her CPSE chair is amazing and wants to throw more at her (if she can tolerate it), meet with us multiple times a year to tweak and reevaluate the IEP, and really give her everything to succeed.

And now I'm in knots because we're moving this summer and what's the likelihood of finding someone like this again? 1) she will be put back into EI (not a bad thing but still a challenge) and 2) It's a whole different state with different regulations. Her IEP will no longer be a binding document going back into EI, though hopefully it can influence what she can get in that program and going forward.

So incredibly torn.

We're actually going to have another IEP meeting about a month before we move so hopefully having a document that recent will help us in the EI re-transition.

Hard to say.

An IEP stays in place in terms of services when moving states or even districts. The new LEA is mandated to do their own re-evaluation. Most states do not serve children past their 3rd birthdays via EI. If I was moving to a state where she'd be on an IEP via the school district, that's the document I'd want in hand.

That's why I'm glad we're having another IEP meeting in June. If we're planning to move in July it will be a more recent document to take to and EI evaluation and meeting. I also have her CPSE evaluations in hand as well as her EI evaluations.
