Imagine you are a teacher for a student who has been referred for a special education evaluation. The parent has agreed to the evaluation but is unfamiliar with IDEA and the IEP process and wants to meet to learn more about these topics.

Create a simple visual that summarizes the 12 key components of IDEA. This visual could be a 1-2 page handout, brochure, etc. and should provide the reader with a clear understanding of key terms and processes associated with IEPs. Include IDEA citations relevant to each component.

The visual should address the following .

• Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE)
• Least Restrictive Environment (LRE)
• Referral Process
• Evaluation Process
• Eligibility Determination
• IEP Components
• Parent and Student Involvement
• Quarterly Progress Monitoring
• Annual Review Process
• Procedural Safeguards
• Prior Written Notice
• Related Services

 Support the assignment with a minimum of three scholarly resources.
