Abstract
Through naturalistic observational
procedures, this study examined the dynamics
of individualized education program (IEP)
conferences. Participants present, the nature
and frequency of topics discussed, and the
length of conferences were considered. A
followup questionnaire was administered to all
conference participants to measure satisfaction.
Results indicated that the IEP conferences
studied generally involved the resource teacher,
who was found to he the most dominant
speaker, reviewing an already developed IEP
with the parents, who were the primary
recipients of the comments made at the
conference. Implications point to the need to
train parents in procedures and responsibilities
associated with the IEP process and to train
professionals to involve parents as active
decision makers in defining an appropriate
education for their child.
