Fall 2009 Special Education Changes
These materials summarize recent changes in IEP and special education procedures. They are intended as a quick reference for AEA staff and for sharing with LEA colleagues. Please note the continued emphasis on statewide procedures with materials developed by the Iowa Department of Education in collaboration with all of the AEAs. This emphasis allows for consistency statewide that is helpful to children and families, and it also makes possible the creation of high quality digital and other tools to support educators.



Annual changes made to Web IEP to reflect programming changes that address new IEP procedures. The changes for this year are minimal, when compared to the many significant changes which were rolled out last year. Other changes will roll out during the year.
