As an SLP new to the school setting, this helped me understand more in depth the how’s and why’s of writing an IEP. Including the strengths, and also little things such as how to communicate with teachers/staff more effectively and questions to even ask the student were cherries on top.

After 20 years as a medical SLP, I have transitioned to the schools. IEP writing and format is new to me. This course broke down the areas and information required in a manner that is easily understood, and allowed me to connect the components to those that I am used to in the hospital setting where the motto is "if you didn't document it, it didn't happen". I really like the emphasis on functional performance, this should drive all therapy goals, hospital or school setting.

This aligns well with one of the other courses that I studied today as well. I felt that the other course outlined the specific information more, whereas this one made the 'wheels turn' to process each area discussed. Overall, this course provided valuable insight into PLAAFP, goal writing, and IEPs in general.

This course was enlightening. I believe that the platform my district uses divides the PLAAFP into different sections for us to fill out, but I did not realize exactly how detailed it should be because I was following examples given to me in my district. I am now much more aware of how much detail I should include and plan to include more details based on the presentation given here. It was very helpful to see how she begins her statements and to understand that it is the student’s story.
