Excellent step-by-step guidance,
This review is from: Writing Measurable IEP Goals and Objectives (Paperback)
If you are involved in education and in the Individualized Education Program (IEP) process in particular, this book may be a lifesaver. Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) an Individual Education Plan (IEP) is required for those individuals with a disability. How to write an IEP that complies with the law is the crux of this book. The IEP goals are required to be measurable, an item that educators often think they have covered when in fact they have not. The authors do an excellent job of detailing how to document the Present Level of Performance (PLOP), Objectives, and Goals. The last half of the book contains sample Best Practice PLOPs, Objectives, and Goals. Although it is filled with acronyms (as are most texts involving government regulation) at least they define each of them before proceeding to use them. For those involved with the IDEA and the IEP process in particular and feeling overwhelmed with the legal requirements "Writing Measurable IEP Goals and Objectives" can bring some relief by providing much needed guidance on how to meet the needs of the students while complying with the IDEA.

"Writing Measurable IEP Goals and Objectives,",
This review is from: Writing Measurable IEP Goals and Objectives (Paperback)
They've provided an excellent guide that promotes, example by example, clear thinking and communication in IEPs. The book is one of those rare birds that is both theoretically sound and practically grounded. Directors of special education should distribute copies to each and every special education teacher in their LEAs. Professors of education should require this book in their students' first course about special education andhave them refer back to it throughout their teacher education programs.

I found the examples very useful, to give me a guideline when I'm creating my own IEP's.
