Process Flowchart to identify and help a struggling student.
Phase 6:
IEP or 504 Meeting
Develop an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or 504 Plan (goals and accommodations).
Example: Collaborate with parents, teachers, and specialists to create a tailored education plan.
Example: Set specific goals and accommodations/modifications for the student.
Hold a meeting with parents, teachers, and relevant staff to develop the plan.
IEP (Individualized Education Program):
A detailed plan developed for a student with disabilities to ensure they receive personalized instruction and services.
Includes specific educational goals, accommodations, and the services the student will receive.
Legally binding and regularly reviewed.
504 Plan:
A plan developed to ensure that a student with a disability receives accommodations that will ensure their academic success and access to the learning environment.
Not as detailed as an IEP and does not include specialized instruction.
Covered under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
Phase 2: Pre-referral
Example: Use differentiated instruction techniques like small group work or individualized attention.
Parent & Staff Involvement:
Inform parents about interventions being used and gather input from other staff on effective strategies.
Implementation classroom interventions (differentiated instruction, additional resources).
Monitor and document student progress.
Example: Provide additional resources such as math manipulatives or visual aids.
Phase 8:Reevaluation
Regularly assess the student's progress.
Example: Conduct annual reviews of the IEP or 504 Plan to ensure it continues to meet the student's needs.
Example: Make necessary adjustments based on the student's progress and any new information.
Parent Involvement:
Include parents in the reevaluation process.
Staff Involvement:

Phase 4:Special Education Evaluation
Conduct comprehensive assessments (cognitive, academic, behavioral).

Example: Use tools like standardized tests and observational assessments.
Parent Involvement:
Ensure parents are informed about the evaluation process and its purpose.
Staff Involvement:
Collaborate with staff conducting the assessments.
Phase 1: Recognition
Ex: A student consistently performs poorly on math tests and assignments,
Ex. A student shows signs of frustration or anxiety during math lessons.
Parent & Staff Involvement:
Communicate observations with parents and all staff members involved to gather additional insights.
Observe student behavior and performance.
Phase 3: Referral for Special Education Evaluation
Assess need for further evaluation.
Example: After interventions, the student still shows significant difficulties in understanding math concepts.
Example: Collect data and document the interventions and their outcomes.
Discuss the need for evaluation with parents and obtain their consent.
Involve other staff members in data collection and documentation.
Phase 7:IEP Implementation
Implement the IEP or 504 Plan (provide accommodations, monitor progress).
Example: Ensure the student receives the specified accommodations, such as extra time on tests or modified assignments.
Example: Monitor the student's progress and adjust the plan as needed.
Parent Involvement:
Regularly update parents on the student's progress.
Staff Involvement:
Involve staff in implementing accommodations.
Phase 5: Eligibility (FAPE)
Determine eligibility for special education services.
Example: Review the evaluation results to see if the student meets criteria for a learning disability.
Example: Differentiate between a language need (e.g., ESL) and a learning disability (e.g., dyscalculia).
Parent Involvement:
Involve parents in reviewing evaluation results and making eligibility decisions.
Staff Involvement:
Consult with relevant staff to interpret the findings.
FAPE (Free Appropriate Public Education):
Ensures that students with disabilities receive necessary education and services without cost.
Mandated by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
Includes tailored instruction, related services, and an appropriate education at no cost to the parents.
