In order for an IEP meeting to occur three member need to be present: the parent or guardian, because they know better than anyone else about their child and because it’s their right.

A continuum of placements for a student is offered and provided in the least restrictive environment as determined by the IEP team. The types of placements are based on LRE features and application: the students need to have maximum freedom to explore the environment with his physical and intellectual ability, similar age appropriate activities, not harmful, not controlling, students with a disability needs to develop skills necessary to control their world. Most respectful, teacher needs to considerate family wishes. Most normalized exemplar of real life in a society. The placements are general education class, resource class, separate class, separate school, and residential facility. An IEP is developed and implemented because it’s the law and safeguards for students. I believe it is the law because the child with disability has his own specific rights as a human being and the law makes sure these rights are offered. A safeguards for students because they can’t advocate for themselves so the IEP makes sure that all their needs are written and planned for students’ best wellbeing.
