IEP Forms
IEP Form I-7
• Reflect addition of new assessments• Separate I-7 form for each assessment
o Reflect the language of each assessmento Stress unique policies for individual assessments
IEP Considerations• Assessment accommodations and supports
should be reflective of day-to-day instructional practice.
• There is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Decisions need to be made on an individual basis.
• Changes/additions/deletions of accommodations and supports in an IEP can be made if necessary.
