A BRIEF SUMMARY:
All special education students at Arlington High School have an Individualized Educational Program (IEP). The IEP is a legal document developed each spring (for the following school year), with input from teachers, specialists(speech therapists, psychologists, etc.), parents and the student.
The IEP contains information about the student's disability, special education program, goals, objectives, and testing accommodations. Testing accommodations are not intended to substitute for knowledge and abilities a student has yet to achieve. Rather, test accommodations are used to address a disability, which will preclude a student from demonstrating knowledge and abilities.
If you have questions regarding any of the information found on your child's IEP do not hesitate to contact either your child's Special Education teacher or their school Psychologist.
