Perhaps your child is in a specific program within the school. As an example, a school district names a specific preschool program TBEIP - The Best Early Intervention Program. This program includes intensive special education, speech and langage, occupational therapy and behavioral intervention services.
One day you realize that your child's IEP does not include the behavioral support services. You ask for them to be documented in the IEP. This is where they explain that "those services are just part of our TBEIP program."
O.K., here's why that is not all right in my opinion.
It is the many peices that make the whole.
Your child's IEP should include all of the support services that he is receiving. And in the case where those behavioral services are not direct, individualized services to your child. Ask that the IEP include a description of the overall program, including all of the professionals who provide specific expertise.
