Which component may be revised during IEP meetings?

• A. A student's medical history
• B. Assessment results from third-party evaluations
• C. A student's placement status
• D. State education regulations

Answer: (C)

The ability to revise a student's placement status during Individualized Education Program (IEP) meetings is a crucial part of the IEP process. Placement refers to where and how a student will receive their special education services, which can vary widely based on individual needs, progress, and any changing circumstances. During the IEP meeting, the team discusses the effectiveness of the current placement and considers the student’s progress, the least restrictive environment (LRE) mandates, and evolving educational and developmental needs.

The IEP team, which includes educators, parents, and specialists, collaboratively decides whether changes to placement are necessary for the student to achieve their educational goals. This revision process ensures that students receive the appropriate level of support and resources crucial for their success in the educational setting.

Other components, such as a student's medical history, assessment results from third-party evaluations, and state education regulations, typically remain stable and are not directly subject to change during IEP meetings. While these elements are important for informing the IEP, they are not altered in the same way that placement can be adapted based on current needs and circumstances.
