This training includes the Child Find, Evaluation, and ARD Supports Statewide Technical Assistance Network recorded webinars Writing Effective Impact and Need Statements in the Full and Individual Evaluation and Writing Present Levels of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance and Developing Measurable Annual Goals. 

Webinars will be facilitated by the presenter. The recording will be paused to allow open discussion of content and complete other hands-on activities that are coordinated to help improve the learning experience. Participants are encouraged to bring a completed FIE report. From this report participants will identify information contained in the report to be able to 1) write an appropriate impact and needs statement for the FIE or 2) improve the impact and needs statement in the FIE. Participants will also identify if the FIE contains appropriate data to be able to draft a PLAAFP statement and develop IEP goals/objectives.

Writing Effective Impact and Need Statements in the Full and Individual Evaluation- This session will provide guidance for writing compliant and effective impact and need statements related to the student’s disability to create the present levels of academic achievement and functional performance (PLAAFPs) which lead to development of an appropriate individualized education program (IEP).

Writing Present Levels of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance and Developing Measurable Annual Goals- This webinar consists of content related to PLAAFPs (the federal law and state guidance related to PLAAFPs that identify a student’s strengths, baseline data, and critical areas of need), annual academic goals (the purpose and importance of measurable annual goals and a four-step process for developing annual academic goals), and annual functional goals (the purpose and importance of functional goals and a four-step process for developing a functional goal).
