ARDs

About ARDs: ARD stands for Admission Review and Dismissal. ARD meetings happen once per year. An ARD meeting brings together a committee of teachers, parents, admin, and other specific staff to review a student's progress with their IEP and create a new one.
FIEsFIE stands for Full Individual Evaluation. FIE meetings happen every 3 years. FIE meetings are typically combined with the annual ARD meeting for the year they are due if possible. They involve a diagnostician during the meeting.
Who is on the committee and why?Special Education Teacher (Case Manager) - Leads the meeting, serves as an expert on special education services and the IEP.Teachers - Serve as experts on their curriculum, provide data on student performance and behavior in class.Administration - Serves as a representative of RISD, ensures compliance with state and district regulationsParent - serves as expert on the student! Nobody knows the student like you do!Student* - *If student is old enough*, they may also participate in the ARD and help lead it, taking great steps toward self advocacySpecialists - Diagnosticians, Behavioral Counselors, Speech Pathologists, Dyslexia Interventionists and various other specialists may be a part of the ARD in some cases.
In person meetings are preferred. If virtual- we use webex! We have switched over to Webex as our video chat platform. It will work the same as Zoom. You will join via a link. There is a webex app, but it is not necessary to join ARDs.
