On the Call: Repetitive IEP Goals

Jeremy Neff and Erin Wessendorf-Wortman Season 3 Episode 16

They say practice makes perfect! But is that true when it comes to repeating IEP goals? In this episode, Erin and Jeremy discuss a case out of Washington, D.C., where parents sued their local school district over an IEP that included several goals repeated from the prior year. Was this a denial of FAPE, or a reflection of the student’s continuing needs? Tune in as they break down what IDEA requires for IEP goals, and when it might be appropriate for a district to repeat them.
