This is an interested page, put up by the Newark Teachers Union (NTU), focused on different areas of special education. It provides a brief and simple explanation of what an IEP is, and to the left side of the page, they provide the different steps required to create and write and IEP. Each step is a Lesson, with some lessons having smaller section on the smaller topics of each section. They provided definitions, explanations, examples, and other considerations to keep in mind, depending on the student’s age. It seems like a helpful page, specially for those parents who would like to know and understand more about the IEP process before they attend the ARD.

As common as this page might be, it can come off as very handy to parents of students with disabilities. Many parents have no idea what to do, or how to go about contacting the school in regard to their child having a possible learning disability. This page provides 7 simple and easy to understand steps for parents to follow when deciding to contact the school. They provide sample letters, what to include in their referral letter, what not to, and what comes next. Many parents and/or persons involved with people/children with have a better understanding of the topic when matters are explained in common terms, with little Special Education/Psychological terms; this page serves that purpose.
http://www.vdps.net/special/test.html#Terms%20used%20in%20Standardized%20Testing:
This page provides a little of everything, from principles of psychoeducational testing, to a list and description of some of the most commonly used standardized testing. One of the most beneficial sections of this page is the section on the Terms commonly used in Standardized testing. This are terms we as psychologists learn in school, but when presented in a report to school personnel or parents, a great percentage of them will not understand what we are talking about, so having access to a place where they can review all this terms, without having to travel back and forth between pages will help the understanding of these.

Diagnostic testing and assessments are vital for creating a meaningful IEP. Assessments let us know where to begin our instruction, and helps us measure the student's success.
