Let's Chat About Service Minutes | IEP Series Part 4

In the fourth part of the IEP process series, host Jenny Ponzuric discusses the importance of understanding and determining service minutes during IEP meetings. She challenges the notion that there's only one way to provide services, encouraging the team to focus on what the student needs to achieve their goals in a year. Jenny highlights the experience of service providers, the student's learning rate, and other impacting factors like motivation and behavioral concerns. She also introduces a handout with tips for discussing service minutes and emphasizes indirect supports and accommodations.
