A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My son attends a cyber charter and I was looking into possibly sending him to another school, but I need a referral from our home school district's department of special education.

What Is The Difference Between A IEP And A IEP Summary?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

I had an IEP meeting the other day. I had received a form that was labeled as a IEP Summary. I have received in the past a IEP document that would list my son's accomplishments, academic and relative service goals that was set.

The summary included the relative services, and academic goals. The Academic goals were set as a yearly goal instead of a quarterly. The relative services were not invited to this meeting; even though I have asked prior to the meeting if they were aware of it.
