Written from the perspective of an educator with over 25 years of experience working with students receiving various levels of special education services, Planning, Writing, and Implementing an IEP: A Christian Approach goes far beyond completing paperwork and conducting meetings, and addresses the comprehensive nature of the IEP process.
In addition, the publication approaches the IEP process from a Christian perspective, reminding the reader to look at each IEP as an opportunity to serve a family by providing hope and a vision for the student’s education.
The publication challenges administrators, service providers, and parents, to consider an IEP from a different perspective. This book reminds readers that IEP meetings need not be a time of conflict and controversy, and that writing the components of an IEP can become part of a plan for the student’s future (Jeremiah 29:11), rather than a dreaded task to complete. The Bible is the most often referenced book. It is this perspective that makes this book unique.
