Lingering Questions about Identification, Team Participation and the Manifestation Determination

Eggert, Dean B.
Minutelli, Alison M.

How does an individualized education plan team (IEP) identify a student using the “response to intervention” method? Under what circumstances can IEP team members be excused from meetings? When may a student be placed in an interim alternative educational setting?

This seminar answers these questions and provides school officials with a deeper understanding of the process for identifying whether a student has a specific learning disability using the Individual with Disabilities Education Act’s “response to intervention” method.  This material also contains a discussion of the rules regarding IEP Team participation, and the requirements for conducting manifestation determinations.
