Stephanie: How does a school determine how much specialized instruction a student needs? Are there laws that guide this process? Who determines how many hours a child will get?
IEPs: HOW DOES A SCHOOL DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF SPECIALIZED INSTRUCTION (IEP HOURS)?
Your state may have rules on this process. The IEP team determines a student’s needs & the amount of time needed to address the needs. Your state parent training and information project can assist you. http://www.parentcenterhub.org/find-your-center
