What is developed by the ARD committee?

• A. IEPs.
• B. School safety plans.
• C. Attendance policies.
• D. Lunch program guidelines.

Answer: (A)

The main idea being tested is that the ARD committee creates the Individualized Education Program for a student with disabilities. In this process, the ARD committee—comprising parents, teachers, and school personnel—reviews evaluation results and, if the student is eligible for special education, develops a formal IEP. This plan specifies the student’s present levels of performance, measurable annual goals, and the specific special education services and related services (such as speech therapy or occupational therapy) the student will receive, along with where and how those services will be provided, how progress will be tracked, and how the student will participate with nondisabled peers. It also details accommodations and modifications, and the placement in the least restrictive environment. The IEP is reviewed at least annually and reevaluated at least every three years to determine continued eligibility and adjust goals as needed. Items like school safety plans, attendance policies, or lunch program guidelines are district-wide policies, not products of the ARD committee.
