Write down the 10 Steps in the Special Education Process with brief
description & example.

1. The child has been assessed as having the potential to benefit from
special education and related programs.
• Child Find, After being referred by a parent or teacher, children are
frequently directed to specialists for assessment and diagnosis. The Child
Find program is another approach for determining special needs children. For
example, in this two-program scenario, the first is the child find, which is
mandated by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, which requires all
state public schools to examine students who show indicators of probable
disabilities. When a child is identified with a handicap, school districts are
responsible for providing appropriate special education services. Referral or
request for evaluation, Teachers frequently recommend students to school
counselors or psychologists for assessment of potential difficulties. When this
occurs, parents must be alerted and given the opportunity to express their
consent. Parents who are concerned about their children can also refer them
to professionals immediately. For example, if parents give their agreement to
a child's evaluation, the legislation requires that evaluations be completed
within two months of the choice being made.

2. Child is evaluated.
• The evaluation stage is crucial since it determines whether or not
children are eligible. Have a handicap that necessitates the use of a special
education program to assist you. Have any specific requirements that
necessitate special education instruction? and necessitate any form of special
education support. For example, if a parent is concerned about or disagrees
with their child's diagnosis, they can request an Independent Educational
Evaluation (IEE).

3. Eligibility is established.
• Parents and other professionals assess the results of a child's evaluation
to determine whether the youngster requires special education help. For
example, If the results are inconclusive, parents can always request a re-
evaluation.

4. The child is found to be in need of assistance.

• When a child is diagnosed with a disability, he or she may be eligible to
enroll in a special education program. For example, Educators must construct
an Individual Education Program (IEP) for students diagnosed with disabilities
within a month of receiving a diagnosis.
5. There will be an IEP meeting.
• Schools are in charge of creating and implementing IEPs. For example,
As a teacher, you must be accountable to your children by contacting parents
and informing them of an IEP planning session in advance so that they may
attend. Parents should schedule an IEP planning session at a time and place
that is convenient for them. Lastly, notify parents about educators and other
experts who will be present at the conference, especially those who specialize
in the sort of disability that the kid is suffering from.
6. There is an IEP meeting, and the IEP is written.
• IEP sessions are convened to discuss and outline a child's educational
needs. Most meetings are attended and participated in by parents and their
children. For example, Parents are invited to meetings when a group outside
of the school makes decisions about a child's IEP. Parents must agree to any
special services their children receive after IEPs are prepared. Children
receive support as soon as their IEPs are finalized and approved by their
parents.

7. Services are offered after the IEP is written.

• When IEPs are completed and signed by parents, schools implement
the plans indicated in the IEP. For example, When teachers and special
education experts have doubts regarding a child's needs, they can consult the
IEP. They can also find information in an IEP on changes made to a child's
plan.

8. Parents are informed of their child's progress.

• Educators and special education professionals keep a close eye on
children and keep track of their development. For example, Parents are kept
up to speed on their children's progress at all times. Parents typically receive
progress reports at the same time as grade reports for other children enrolled
in the school.

9. IEP is being reviewed.

• Educators evaluate IEPs on a yearly basis or whenever parents want it.
Educators and parents can make changes to IEPs as necessary. For
example, Parents can make recommendations for IEP modifications, appeal
any plan updates they disagree with, and talk to educators about possible
compromises. When parents disagree with an IEP, they can request more
testing, an independent committee review, and more adjustments.

10. Child is reassessed.

•Students in special education must be re-examined every three years,
known as a "triennial." For example, The re-evaluations are done to see if kids
still need special education services, but in many circumstances, children are
re-examined if their difficulties get worse or they need more help.
