NYSED’s statewide guidance explains how Committees on Special Education (CSE) and Preschool Special Education (CPSE) should develop and carry out Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). It describes how evaluations, student strengths and needs, and family input should guide goals, services, classroom supports, and placement decisions. Families can use its detailed review questions to prepare for IEP discussions and better understand how schools should implement services, monitor progress, and communicate with parents. Written primarily for school teams, it is also useful to caregivers seeking a closer look at what an effective IEP process should include.
For questions about your child’s evaluation, IEP, or services, contact your school district’s CSE/CPSE. NYC families can find their assigned CSE/CPSE office here.
