Q: Should a nurse be invited to the IEP meeting? The nurses are often gone from work when we have the IEP meetings, what should I do?
A: If a student has medical needs that are addressed by the IEP team, then the team should invite the nurse. Even if the nurse cannot be there, please make sure that they provide any necessary information prior to the meeting and that they receive all relevant information following the meeting.
Q: Where do I put study skills minutes in the IEP?
A: This depends on why the student has study skills. If the student is in study skills for reading, writing, math, behavior or social / emotional reasons, put the minutes in those areas. Study Skills is simply the location. If the IEP and ESER notes executive functioning needs, then Study Skills can be put as a separate service area.
