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. |
