If "No Concerns" is still making its way into your IEP sections as a standalone remark, this episode is your call to action to enhance your PLAAFP (Present Levels of Academic and Functional Performance) writing practices.
The PLAAFP section is not just the foundation of the IEP; it’s the blueprint that guides every aspect of a student's educational plan.
In this episode (recap of episode 81), we discuss these important aspects of the IEP PLAAFP section:
- Essential Components: What must be included to paint a complete picture of a student’s capabilities and needs.
- Common Pitfalls: What to avoid to prevent vague or incomplete PLAAFP sections.
- Sourcing Information: Best practices for gathering comprehensive data from a variety of sources.
- Stakeholder Input: How to effectively incorporate feedback from everyone involved in the student’s education, including the students themselves.
