        Evaluation and Review
        
        At the end of each checkpoint, the student's IEP is reviewed to ensure it is still meeting their needs. This should happen at least once a year.
        After 3 years, the student will be re-evaluated as well, and the IEP updated to reflect new findings. At parental request, this can happen sooner than 3 years.
        
        The terms of the IEP are implemented in this stage, which could take a lot of forms, depending on what the issues identified were. This could involve the use of therapists, technology, or special classes.
        
        Progress is measured against the agreed goals and parents are informed of any needs or successes.
        
        A meeting will be set up between concerned parties in the school, the medical professional who evaluated the student, and parents. to draw up an Individual Education Plan (IEP)
        
        An IEP includes:
        
        The specific services they’ll receive
        
        How many times per week and for how many minutes they’ll get them,
        
        Whether they’ll be one-on-one or with a group
        
        What their short- and long-term goals are

        Once students have been tested, their diagnosis is compared to the help available under US law. If students have a disability that is recognised under the IDEA framework, the process can proceed. Otherwise, students must seek outside help.
        
        An evaluation will be conducted by a team of educational professionals to determine the needs of the child. Different tests, methods, and tools will be used to build up as comprehensive a picture of the students abilities and needs as possible. During this process, the parents have the right to challenge any of the findings, which will lead to an independent review.
