If the parent did not attend or participate in the meeting by other means and did not agree to the time and place of the IEP team
meeting, document three efforts to involve the parent:
A. Strengths
Describe the students strengths (including academic skills, communication skills, social skills, and interests).
Kimika works hard to complete preferred tasks. Kimika understands a token economy and will work
hard to collect small rewards.
1. Describe the students present level of academic achievement (including reading achievement). For preschool children,
describe the childs acquisition and use of knowledge and skills (including early language/communication and early
literacy).
Reading: Kimika scored in the .03 percentile in the wide range achievement test for reading. Her skills are below average for her age
at this time. Kimika is able to recognize 5 out of 40 pre-primer sight words and 7 out of 26 letter sounds. She also recognizes 11
functional words (Exit, danger, go, police, poison, walk, keep out, in, ladies, women, out) and 4 directional words (name, address,
telephone, and date) Kimika have below average performance in spelling and oral language skills. She struggles with listening
comprehension and following direction at this time.
Math: Kimika displays some basic math skills but still displays skill below average for her age. Her overall score on the wide range
achievement test for math was in the .04 percentile. She is able to rote count to 12, recognize number to 15, and write numerals 1-8.
She also can identify the value of 3 (penny, nickel, dime) out of 4 coins, can identify time to the hour, and is able to complete addition
facts problems to 5.
Writing: Writing is a struggle for Kimika due to her limited motor skills. She is able to write 10 out of 26 uppercase letters (M, K, S,
P, F, B, A, C, D, and I). Kimika is unable to draw a person at this time.
Functional performance includes activities and nonacademic skills needed for independence, access to instruction and
performance at school, in the home, in the community, for leisure time, and for post-secondary and lifelong learning
(including reading). Some examples include: activities of everyday living, school/work/play habits, and social-emotional
behavior.
2. Describe the students present level of functional performance. For preschool children, describe the child's positive social-
emotional skills (including social relationships) and use of appropriate behaviors to meet their needs and the impact on
early literacy.
Behavior: Kimika displays challenging behaviors at time that are disruptive to her learning and the learning of others in
her class. Kimika uses a behavior management plan of earing pennies for having appropriate behavior and completing work,
but this has not been enough to limit her verbal and physical outbursts at this time. When Kimika is having an outburst, she
will yell, swear, kicked walls, and spit toward other students. She has also thrown her work in an effort express frustration
and avoid work. In the past, outbursts have been handled by taking away earned pennies or extend time outs. These attempts
at intervention have not been successful in changing behavior and sometimes increase and extend the behaviors. Kimika has
also dumped food she has not liked on the floor in the cafeteria.
Adaptive: Kimika scored a 50 on the Daily Living Skills domain on the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale. Due to
motor difficulties and a seizure condition, Kimika needs to be monitored while completing all daily living skills as she
could lose her balance, fall, and hurt herself.
Communication: Kimika is hard to understand when she is communicating with unfamiliar listeners. Kimika speaks in
short incomplete sentences at this time. Her receptive language skills are also delayed which make following directions
or completing tasks challenging. Kimika scored a 40 on the Communication Domain on the Vineland Adaptive Behaviors
Scale.
Social: Kimikas behavior affects her peer interaction. She has in the past spent extended periods of time in a day in time
out. She also has acted out toward peers by spitting and verbal aggression. Her score on the Socialization Domain of the
Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale was a 68.
Motor: Kimika is ambulatory but does walk with a limp. The makes he balance unsteady and can make mobility a
challenge. Kimika struggles with fine motor tasks and is resistive to complete these tasks. Score on the Vineland
Adaptive Behavior Scale-Motor Skills was a 52
Health: Kimika has been diagnosed with multiple disabilities. Her health is affected by grand mal seizures. She is
currently medicated and a health and safety plan has been created.
C. Special Factors
Special Factors must be considered when developing the individualized education program. Consider the special factors
when identifying the effects of disability, summarizing disability related needs, developing goals, and determining services
in the Program Summary. For example, if a students behavior impedes learning, the positive behavioral interventions,
strategies, and supports could include specially designed instruction, related services, supplementary aids and services and/or
program modifications and supports for staff. The behavioral needs of the student may be determined through a functional
behavioral assessment (FBA).
3. In the case of a child who is blind or visually impaired, does the student need instruction in Braille or the use of Braille?
(Attach Determining Braille Needs (ER-3) from the latest evaluation/reevaluation or any updated information.)
x Not Applicable Yes No Cannot be determined at this time
If yes, describe needs, including Braille needs:
4. Does the student have communication needs that could impede his/her learning?
x Yes No
a. If yes, describe the communication needs (including speech and language needs):
Kimika has a severe language delay that effect bother her receptive and expressive speech.
b. If the student is deaf or hard of hearing, describe (a) the students language and communication needs; (b) opportunities
for direct communication with peers and professional personnel in the students language and communication mode; and,
(c) academic level and full range of needs including opportunities for direct instruction in the students language and
communicative mode:
5. Does the student need assistive technology services or devices, including any services or devices needed to assist with
reading?
Yes x No
If yes, describe the needed services in the Program Summary:
2. Describe the concerns (if any) of the student for enhancing his or her education:
E. Effects of Disability
Effects of the disability identifies how the students disability affects academic achievement and functional performance. The
effects are what the IEP Team observes when the student has difficult accessing, engaging and making progress in the general
education curriculum, instruction, and environments.
1. Does the students disability adversely affect his or her progress toward meeting grade-level reading standards? For
preschoolers, does the disability adversely affect progress toward the early learning standards for language development,
communication and/or early literacy?
x Yes No
2. Describe how the students disability affects his or her access, involvement and progress in the general education
curriculum, including how the disability affects reading. For preschool children, describe how the disability affects
participation in age-appropriate activities, including language development, communication and/or early literacy.
Kimikas multiple disabilities affect her acquisition of academic skills, her receptive and expressive
communication, motor skills and behavior. Kimika requires significantly remediated instruction in all academic
areas as well as direct instruction in behavior and communication skills to make gains in skills. These needs
cannot be met within the general education curriculum.
List and number the disability-related needs. Include reading needs, or early literacy needs, and needs due to special factors, if
identified. Reference numbered needs in the measurable annual goal statements (add rows, as needed).
1 Challenging Behaviors
2 Communication Delays
4 Task Completion
FAMILY ENGAGEMENT
How will school staff engage parent(s)/families in the education of the student (e.g. sharing resources, communicating with
parent(s)/families, building upon family strengths, connecting parent(s)/families to learning activities, etc.)?
School and parents will continue to share and collaborate on success and challenges. School will also inform the
family of opportunities to learn outside of the typical school day as well as school events like concerts and
conferences.
II. PARTICIPATION IN GENERAL EDUCATION CURRICULUM Choose one of the following:
The IEP team determines whether the student is in the general education curriculum (the same curriculum as for students without
disabilities) or the curriculum aligned with alternate achievement standards. Unless a student is expected to take alternate
assessments aligned with alternate achievement standards, the student is full time in the general education curriculum. If the
student participates in curriculum aligned with alternate achievement standards, include benchmarks or short-term objectives with
the measurable annual goals. (Select one below.)
The student participates full-time in general education curriculum aligned with the general education standards that apply to all
students, or for preschoolers, in age-appropriate activities aligned with early learning standards.
x The student is a student with the most significant cognitive disability participating in curriculum aligned with alternate achievement
standards. See the definition of a student with the most significant cognitive disability on the Participation Guidelines for Alternate
Assessment (DPI Model Form I-7-A).
III. MEASURABLE ANNUAL GOALS

X. STUDENT PARTICIPATION
A. Participation in Regular Education Environment (location, including regular education classrooms, extracurricular and
nonacademic activities, and workplace settings) Ensure any supplementary aids and services needed for the student to
participate in the regular education environment, including regular education classrooms, extracurricular and nonacademic
activities, and workplace settings, are included in the Program Summary.
The student will participate full-time with non-disabled peers in regular education environment, or for preschoolers, with
non-disabled peers in age-appropriate settings.
If you have indicated in the Program Summary a location other than regular education environment, or age-appropriate
settings for preschoolers, you must check the box below and answer Questions 1 and 2.
x The student will not participate full-time with non-disabled peers in regular education environment, or for preschoolers,
with non-disabled peers in age-appropriate settings.
1. Describe the extent to which the student will not participate with non-disabled students in the regular education
classroom, or age-appropriate settings in the case of a preschooler, including extracurricular and nonacademic activities:
Kimikas multiple disabilities cause her to need a high level of support in all areas of her day. Because of this she
requires a specially designed environment and her needs cannot be met in the regular education classroom.
2.Explain why full-time participation with non-disabled peers is not appropriate, or in the case of a preschooler,
participation in age-appropriate settings including extracurricular and nonacademic activities:
Kimika displays significant delays in cognitive skills, motor skills, and communication skills as well as consistently challenging
behaviors. She requires a high level of support and modification to her daily work that cannot be met through the general
education curriculum. She requires specially designed instruction at her cognitive level in a specially designed environment to
be able to gain and maintain skills.
Ensure any supplementary aids and services needed for the student to participate in the regular education environment, including
regular education classrooms, extracurricular and nonacademic activities, and workplace settings, are included in the Program
Summary.
B. Participation in Physical Education Not Applicable (If the student is in a grade-level where physical education is not
offered and the student does not require specially designed physical education as part of a free appropriate public education.)
If the IEP team determines the student requires specially designed physical education, there must be a corresponding disability-
related need and goal, and this service must be included in the Program Summary with the appropriate frequency and amount.
INDIVIDUALIZED EDUCATION PROGRAM: To be completed for students participating in
PARTICIPATION IN DISTRICT-WIDE ASSESSMENTS district-wide assessments
Form I-7 District-wide Assessment (Rev. 05/2017)
District-wide assessments are tests given at the district level and can apply to students in all grade levels (4K-12). District wide
assessments include the high school civics test requirement and the assessment for reading readiness.
Students with disabilities must be included in district-wide assessments unless the IEP team determines that an alternate to the
district-wide assessment is appropriate. Alternate assessments are intended only for students with the most significant cognitive
disabilities. If the student will be taking an alternate assessment, the I-7-A Participation Guidelines for Alternate Assessment
(http://dpi.wi.gov/sites/default/files/imce/sped/doc/form-i7a.doc) must be included with the IEP.
District-wide Assessment-If the IEP team determines the student will take district-wide assessments, the IEP must
contain a statement of any individual appropriate accommodations needed to measure the academic achievement and
functional performance of the student on district-wide assessments.
Students with IEPs must take the civics exam unless the IEP team determines it is not appropriate, but graduation cannot
be conditioned upon passing a certain number of questions correctly. If the student will take the civics exam, list it as a
district-wide assessment and include a statement of any needed accommodations.
Not applicable, the student is not in a grade in which they will take the high school civics exam.
It is appropriate to administer the high school civics test to the student.
x It is not appropriate to administer the high school civics test to the student.
District-wide assessment(s) the Are accommodations needed? If yes, describe the accommodations
student will take (yes/no) needed
Alternate District-wide Assessment If the IEP team determines the student will take an alternate assessment, the IEP must
describe why the student cannot participate in the regular assessment, why the particular alternate district-wide assessment is
appropriate and contain a statement of any needed accommodations.
Alternate district- Describe why the Describe why Are accommodations If yes, describe the

PARTICIPATION IN STATEWIDE ASSESSMENTS in Dynamic Learning Maps
Form I-7-DLM (Rev 10/2016)
The student will be in (circle one) 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th or 11th grade when the Dynamic Learning Maps (DLM)
assessment is administered in English language arts, mathematics, and science. IEP teams do not need to document
accommodations for social studies in grades 4, 8, and 10 as it is rated based on classroom observation using a teacher rating
form. The student will be taking the alternate assessment1 for all content areas required at this grade level (the I-7-A
Participation Guidelines for Alternate Assessment must be included with the IEP).
The DLM was designed using the principles of universal design for learning, as such the term accommodation is replaced with
the phrases accessibility features and supports. IEP determinations regarding the use of accommodations on the DLM
assessment apply to all of the content areas the student is participating in based on their grade level. Please check the Office of
Student Assessment website for the current accommodation policies: http://dpi.wi.gov/assessment/dlm/accommodations.
Category 1: Accessibility features/supports provided within the DLM system must be activated via the Personal Needs Profile
(PNP) prior to administering the assessment. Please list required supports:
Category 2: Accessibility features/supports requiring additional tools/materials. Please list required supports:
Category 3: Accessibility features/supports provided outside of the DLM system. Please list required supports:
IEP teams are responsible for deciding whether students with disabilities will participate in general education
assessments with or without testing accommodations, or in the alternate assessment with or without
accommodations.1 In a given year, a student must participate in either all general education assessments or all
alternate assessments, not parts of both.
