    1. A procedural error that may occur at any point during the IEP process is failure to involve parents

      Our IEP team is careful to say to our student's parents that it is our recommendation that their student is in the correct placement for the upcoming year. Our unit classes include students that have severe intellectual disabilities. When we have our general ed teachers talk about what standards the general ed students are currently working on, the parent's are sometimes shocked at the discrepancy between grade level content and where their child is at cognitively.

    2. Because altering frequency, duration, or setting might severely impact theefficacy of a service or support, it is important that school administrators verify these aspects ofimplementation. Failure to do so might result in a denial of FAPE.

      Regarding implementation errors, I don't think I've ever seen an administrator verify the services provided by different related service providers such as speech or OT/PT. It may be assumed that these related services are professionals and that they will do their duty to maintain fidelity to the IEP. This may lead to a possible implementation error.

    3. Failing to monitor students’ progress: Monitoring the student’s progress is essential to determiningwhether the student is adequately making progress toward meeting her goals and receiving FAPE.Without such monitoring, school personnel have no way to determine whether students are actuallymaking progress.

      I believe that there is less oversight on the substantive side of IEP implementation accountability. In two years I've never had my progress monitoring checked by anybody. I've also never had parents inquire as to how their child is progressing towards their IEP goals. This could lead to a substantive error in the implementation of an IEP.

    4. Failure to include required components in a student’s IEP: To restate, all of the IEP’s componentscome together to create a cohesive program for the student. When components are missing, thequality of the IEP is compromised.

      At our school, we haven't had any issues with failing to assemble an appropriate IEP team. Our administrators do a great job of ensuring that all IEP team members know what is expected of them. We have sped meetings weekly to ensure that we stay on top of IEP due dates and re-evaluations.
