Jerry Stremel , Gale and I had a meeting with our Head Start partners this past week
(UDMO, YOUR, INC., New Opportunities, and North Iowa Community Action Org.)
As we discussed some of the new statewide IEP procedural manual changes and the child find system, the following conversations occurred.
1) Do you know all the required components that Head Start must collects on each student in their program?
Head Start does home observations, slow start observation, parent nights, gathers parent input on child goals, informal screens (ASQ), collects work samples, portfolio info, Creative Curr. data, hearing, vision, health, SSIS, release of info, etc. etc.
As we complete the Disability Suspect form and the new Consent for Eval form please ASK for the information they have already collected. rather than coming in and requesting and doing "lots of stuff on your own"; that may be a duplication.
Did you also know??? Head Start must have the entire IEP file on a child, not just the goal page. They must have the consent for eval, consent for services, prior written notice, mtg notice, etc. etc in order to be in compliance. And they want the IEP in a timely manner... It's our responsibility to get the IEP information to them as they do not have access to the WEB system!
We had very good conversations and thought our discussions were worthy to share with others.
