What your state says about services for a homeschooled child: home.peabody.kids/guides/iep-after-leaving-school
What this page is, and is not
A blank page for the family's own planning. It is not an IEP, a services plan, or legal or medical advice. After a child leaves school to be homeschooled, the school's IEP usually stops applying; many families still like a written plan of their own. This is one, blank, to fill in by hand.
Filling it in
- Copy over the parts of school's last plan you want to keep working on.
- Write a few goals for the year, how you will practise each, and what it will look like when it is done.
- Tick what helps at home, and add your own.
- Look back every few months and write what changed.
Before or after withdrawing, read the IEP after leaving school: what federal law and your state say about services for a homeschooled child. Peabody Parents explains IEPs and 504 plans.
Nothing is typed on this page, so nothing about your child is kept anywhere.
