Principles of IDEA
What is nondiscriminatory evaluations?
This is a school committee that helps teachers strategize to meet the needs of struggling students.
What is the child study committee or multidisciplinary team?
IEP stands for this.
What is individual education program?
This is the evaluation done every three years to determine if a student is still eligible for EXED services.
What is a triennial evaluation?
If a student is referred to the child study committee, they must meet within this many business days to discuss it.
What are 10 days?
The school is required to seek out students who need EXED services. Schools cannot refuse to serve a student because of a disability. This is a principle of IDEA
What is child find/zero reject?
These are the people required to participate in the eligibility meeting.
What is the EXED teacher, general education teacher, a school administrator, the school psychologist or educational diagnostician, and the guardian?
The IEP team must meet at least this often to write a new IEP.
What is every year?
If a student with a disability is not found eligible for EXED services at the eligibility meeting, they can get needed accommodations with one of these.
What is a 504 plan?
The child study has this many days after their meeting to notify the EXED administrator if they recommend a referral for a student.
What is 3 business days?
IDEA includes a procedure for the guardians to have a mediation or a hearing if they disagree with the school about their child's EXED services.
What is due process?
Anyone can refer a student for EXED services, but it is usually these people? (Hint: 2 groups)
What are teachers and guardians?
If the IEP team will be discussing transition plans, this person must also attend the IEP meeting.
Who is the student? (Starting at age 14 in Virginia, the IEP must include transition plans in the IEP and include the student.)

What is fit the criteria for one of the IDEA categories, the disability impacts their education, and they need specialized instruction?
Once the guardian has signed permission for the evaluation, Virginia schools have this many business days to complete the evaluation and hold an eligibility meeting.
What is 65 business days?
Students may need these additional services to benefit from specialized instruction (i.e., PT, OT, counseling, adaptive PE).
What are related services?
IDEA specifies that these individuals must be included in IEP team and are active participants in planning and decision-making even though they are not employed by the school district to work with the student.
Who are the guardians of SWDs?
The IEP team will consider where the student will receive services and will place them in the same class as other students without disabilities as much as possible. This is a principle of IDEA.
What is LRE or least restrictive environment?
What can the child study committee do when reviewing a case?
What is recommend additional interventions for the general education teacher to implement or recommend the student be referred for an evaluation?

These individuals monitor students, collect baseline data, implement interventions, and collect more data to see if the interventions are effective during the pre-referral stage of the EXED process.
The part of the IEP that documents the student's academic and functional strengths and challenges. It shows how the student is doing and what kinds of accommodations are helpful.
