Happy 🎊 Hope you had a great week! We're sharing a success from our week, and the key word is "trial period".

We had an IEP meeting this week where we discussed the results of a 10 week trial period for a student in the general education environment. The data gathered during that time showed us that the child could be successful there, with adult support.

Remember that IEP decisions should always be data driven as much as possible πŸ“ˆπŸ“„ If you have questions about this, feel free to reach out today!
