Hello colleagues: I am the Instructor at Tower Health/Phoenixville Hospital and our program welcomes interns from up to 8 different local school districts. Since I started here there's been a fair amount of discrespancy among these districts over who assumes responsibility for generating the updated IEP. Just one district has shared access with IEPWriter. Some districts task me with writing it, others do not (the transition coordinators write it). Since I don't have comprehensive access to IEPWriter, I've been forced to use a PDF editor that creates a formatting disaster, making the document difficult to read. The previous instructor was an IU employee who had IEPWriter access. I have met with my supervisors at Kencrest and this PDF editor is the best that can be provided. If anyone can please suggest a solution/alternative, I'd be most most grateful. Thanks, Mark

UPDATE: via PaTTAN, I have found a .docx template of an IEP. I am going to try that. Hopefully it will result in a much cleaner document compared to using a PDF editor.

Hi folks
I emailed Mark separately and then decided it would benefit the group to see my response!

Typically, when a CRP is supplying the instructor, the home school district creates and updates the IEP. The reasoning behind that is that the CRP is providing a service to that district and the district is still the owner of the IEP.
The instructor should be invited to guide the writing of the IEP goals so that they are specific to Project SEARCH and should be attending IEP meetings before the start of Project SEARCH.
