What components are typically reviewed at an IEP annual review meeting?

• A. Attendance and lunch options.
• B. School calendar for next year.
• C. Present levels, goals and progress, services and accommodations, transition plan, and parental input.
• D. Only the transition plan and budget.

Answer: (C)

An IEP annual review focuses on understanding where the student currently stands and planning for the coming year. The present levels describe the student's current academic and functional performance, setting the starting point for goals. The goals and progress section shows what the team aims to achieve and how progress will be measured, so you can see whether changes are helping. The services and accommodations outline the supports and adjustments the student will receive to access learning and participate in classes. The transition plan is included when relevant to prepare for life after school, including education, work, and independent living goals. Parental input is welcomed to incorporate the family’s perspective and priorities. Topics like attendance, lunch options, or focusing only on a transition plan and budget aren’t the focus of the annual IEP review.
