Geraghty, integrates explicit grammar instruction into listening, speaking, reading and writing daily. Mia has difficulty using a variety of verb tenses in conversation and when writing. The team can then determine if any formal collaboration or consultation from the SLP are required to further support the general education teacher. So instead of a grammar goal and increased speech time, the team must document what specific interventions the general education teacher will use to address grammar deficits. The general education teacher can address the language and communication needs of the student as well. Then the team will identify specifically who and how those areas can best be addressed.įor example, if a student has needs for grammar, this skill may not require a goal addressed by the SLP. Rather, the IEP team should look for areas where there are gaps, overlaps and inconsistencies in a student’s program. It is important to keep in mind that just because there is a need identified, you do NOT have to write a goal for that need. Write accommodations for those needs if required. Identify who will address those needs and what service time is required to meet the goals within a year’s timeframe.įor needs that do not have goals, include how the needs will be met through general education intervention. Write goals for the needs that are the greatest impediment to the student’s access to general education curriculum. Once needs are identified, document how those needs will best be supported. The IEP team should consider the following steps: The information from the PLA will drive completion of the rest of the IEP document, particularly goals and service time. some information may duplicate you may need to adjust phrasing or expand on the information), it is a huge time-saver and does give you a lot of information you may not necessarily see in your therapy sessions with a student.įirst of all, give yourself a high five! By administering the PLA and including this information in present levels, you have already completed the hard part. The auto-summary feature takes the information from the PLA, scores it, and generates a communication strengths and needs profile that can be copied and pasted into the present levels section of a student’s IEP. SLP Toolkit’s Present Level Assessment (PLA) tool is an excellent way to quickly identify a comprehensive communication profile. It is what drives a student’s special education programming as well as identifies the supports needed to access general education curriculum. It is critical to write a comprehensive IEP for a student.
