Individual Education Plan (IEP)
Getting Standing Equipment on Your Child's IEP
According to the US Dept. of Education, each child who receives
special education and related services must have an IEP (Individual
Education Plan). It is created by the IEP team (often parents,
teachers, and therapists). It consists of certain information
designed to meet the child's unique needs, including annual goals,
special education and related services (such as physical &
occupational therapy), participation with nondisabled children, and
much more. The IEP team must always consider the child's need for
Assistive Technology devices. Creating an IEP that includes standing
therapy allows multiple IEP goals to be accomplished simultaneously
(i.e. the child stands during speech therapy or included in physical
education activities) |
 |
Standing programs are fast becoming a regular part of
the special education programs in schools all across the
nation. Therapists and Physicians recommend daily standing therapy
to enhance function and well being. |
