   The purpose of assessment in the special education process is to collect information and make decisions about and for a student. Once a student has been determined eligible for special education services, there are many things to consider before the IEP team meets and begins writing the IEP. To better prepare for this next step, it will be helpful to have some sort of guide to ensure that nothing gets missed.
   Create a 375- to 525-word checklist that outlines the factors to consider when planning an educational program and determining placement for a student with intellectual and developmental disabilities and TBI.
   Include a justification for why each factor is important and should be considered.
