Developing an IEP for Educating Students
with Disabilities in the Least Restrictive Environment |
|
Parents:
Do you have a preschooler experiencing significant
difficulties with speech and language, fine motor skills, gross
motor skills, or behavior? Is he/she struggling to learn the
basic early concepts?
All Warren County School Districts offer
varied educational programs and services for students aged 3 to 21.
Parents or other appropriate persons may refer children who are
experiencing significant difficulties.
Babies from birth to age 3 who are
thought to have developmental delays may receive assistance from the
Early Intervention Program. To access these services, parents
should contact the Special Child Health Services at 908-689-6000
ext. 258 or 259.
Child Study Team services are available
to children ages 3 to 5. Children experiencing physical,
sensory, emotional, communication, cognitive, and/or social
difficulties may be eligible for special education and related
services. Parents should contact the Knowlton Township
Elementary Child Study Team office at 475-5118 for further
information. If
parents are concerned about their school age child's progress, they
should feel free to discuss such issues with their child's teacher
and/or principal. Parents have the option of making a referral
to the PAC or Pupil Assistance Committee or to the Child Study Team.
PAC offers intervention procedures that are provided within the
regular education school program. At times more extensive
interventions that can be provided in the regular education setting
are necessary to assist the student. If the decision to
undertake a full Child Study Team evaluation, the child's
social/emotional, and academic status may be assessed. |

Child
Find
Project Child
Find was established by the New Jersey State Department of
Education as a free public awareness and referral service to
assist parents and professionals by identifying available
early intervention programs and services for infants and
toddlers through two years of age, and free, appropriate
public education programs and services for pupils who are
disabled three through twenty one years of age. Parents or
other appropriate persons may refer children who are
experiencing significant difficulties.
BABIES FROM
BIRTH TO AGE 3 who are
thought to have developmental delays may receive assistance
from the Early Intervention Program. To access these services,
parents should contact the Special Child Health Services at
908-689-6000 ext. 258 or 259.
CHILDREN AGES 3
TO 5 who are
experiencing physical, sensory, emotional, communication,
cognitive and/or social difficulties may be eligible for
special education and related services through their local
Child Study Team. Parents should contact the Knowlton Township
Elementary School Child Study Team office at 475-5118 for
further information.
IF PARENTS ARE
CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR SCHOOL AGE CHILD’S PROGRESS,
they should feel free to discuss such issues with their child’s
teacher and/or principal at 475-5118. Parents have the option
of making a referral to the I and RS Team, or Interventions
and Referral Services Team. I & RS team offers
intervention procedures that are provided within the regular
education school program. At times more extensive
interventions are necessary to assist the student. If the
decision to undertake a full Child Study Team evaluation the
child’s social, emotional and academic status may be
assessed. Medical or other specialized evaluations may also be
included at no cost to the parent. If a child is determined to
be eligible for special education and related services, an IEP
or Individualized Education Plan will be developed. The IEP
will include a rationale for the student’s educational
placement and the basis for the program implementation. |
