In a school setting, teachers on the IEP team are privy to which information?

• A. Therapy notes
• B. Outcomes of therapy related to class recommendations
• C. Personal contact information
• D. Attendance records

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that an IEP team uses information that directly informs how the student learns in school. Therapy outcomes are the data that show how what’s happening in therapy translates into classroom performance. When therapists report on progress and how therapy goals affect skills needed in class, those results help the team decide what supports, accommodations, or modifications the student should receive in the classroom. This makes therapy outcomes a practical bridge between therapeutic goals and educational planning.

Therapy notes themselves are private clinical records; they aren’t routinely shared with the entire IEP team in detail, and personal contact information or attendance records, while part of student records, aren’t the primary basis for classroom recommendations. So the information most relevant for shaping the IEP decisions about how the student is taught is the outcomes of therapy related to class recommendations.
