Intial IEP Profile Page

[Laura Honey]

Should eligibility testing results be on the profile page under recent assessments on the profile of an initial IEP?

I was looking at the annotated IEP for my state - PA.  They don't have a profile page.  I like to see detailed test results so the date and type of testing, I would think, would be sufficient.  The reader could look further into the IEP for more details.

This is PA's annotated IEP:  https://www.pattan.net/assets/PaTTAN/0f/0ff6ece4-7df9-4d92-975f-c6c7cf445a97.pdf

If you say what state you live in, I could see if there is something similar for your state.

This is what I found on this document on pg 73:  https://www.alabamaachieves.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/2019-Mastering-the-Maze-Process-1.pdf:

• Results of the most recent evaluations/assessments/tests (typically within the past year): Include all information on evaluation/assessment/test results that are helpful to develop the IEP. It is not necessary to repeat information from the Notice and Eligibility Decision Regarding Special Education Services. The information should be written in meaningful terms so the parent, IEP Team members, and service providers have a clear understanding of the results. Standard scores, Level 3, percentiles, age, and grade equivalents, can be misleading. For example, stating a child scored a Level 3 in the average range should be easy for all to understand. Be consistent. Use terms such as above average, average, or below average to make test results more meaningful for those not familiar with scoring.

Interpretation of Evaluation Results (standard scores with a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15)

o 116 and above = Above Average

o 115-85 = Average

o 84 and below = Below Average

o Example: In reading, John scored a 95 (standard score) in the average range.

 

It doesn't say about including info older than a year old but if I was to be filling out this form, I would want to mention when testing was last done or  when the next testing is due.  IDEA requires triennial testing so if it is noted that testing was last done in April of 2023, seeing this makes the IEP team aware that it's due to be done again in April 2026.  If the student you see in real life doesn't match what's in the evaluation report, IMO, it's a sign that an eval might need to be done sooner than required.
