This book was conceived and developed with the purpose of providing guidelines for writing meaningful and comprehensive IEPs -- especially for students who are learning English and come from various cultural backgrounds. The chapters on writing present levels of academic achievement and functional performance (PLAAFP) and measureable annual goals (MAG) include specific elements that should be part of every PLAAFP and MAG that is written.

The Adaptive Behavior Diagnostic Scale (ABDS) is an interview-based rating scale that assesses the adaptive behavior of individuals between the ages of 2 through 21 years. The primary function of the ABDS is to establish the presence and the magnitude of adaptive behavior deficits. The ABDS scores are compatible with state and federal special education classification systems and consistent with the DSM-V and American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disorders (AAIDD) definitions of intellectual disability. The ABDS may be used to assess the adaptive behavior of individuals with or suspected of having intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, learning disabilities, mental or behavioral health condition or other similar concerns.
