PLAAFP

The Present Levels of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance (PLAAFP) is an integrated summary of data from all sources, including parents/guardians.  It is considered the foundation for developing annual goals, designing programming, and measuring future progress. Required components of the PLAAFP statement may be included in other parts of the IEP, such as within annual goals or the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) statement.  

The PLAAFP statement should provide information about the student’s:

1.   Current academic achievement and functional performance

2.  Describe how their disability impacts their involvement and progress in the general education curriculum for K-12 students (or affects the    participation in appropriate activities for preschool children)

3.  Identify their strengths and needs.  

4.  Include a statement of needs that result from the student's disability that will be addressed within this IEP.
