AI Summary
This bill amends the School Code to address individualized education program (IEP) meetings for children with disabilities. Specifically, beginning with the first annual review meeting after a child turns 13 years old, the IEP team will be required to determine at each annual review meeting whether it would be appropriate for the child to participate in their own IEP meetings. An IEP is a personalized educational plan developed for students with disabilities to ensure they receive appropriate educational support and services. The bill aims to promote student involvement and self-advocacy by giving teenagers the opportunity to be part of the decision-making process regarding their own educational planning. This change helps prepare students with disabilities for increased participation in their educational journey and potential future transition planning as they approach adulthood, encouraging their input and understanding of their educational needs and supports.
