How ABA works alongside a Weld County School District No. Re-5J IEP
Think of the IEP as the school-day plan and ABA as the rest-of-the-day plan. Sunbird's sessions happen at home and at daycare, not in Weld County School District No. Re-5J classrooms — but the goals can and should line up.
- Ask for an evaluation in writing. If you think your child needs special-education support, put the request to your school (or the district's special-education office) in writing and keep a copy.
- Share what you have. Outside evaluations and an autism diagnosis help, though the school still runs its own eligibility evaluation.
- Bring the IEP to your BCBA. With your consent, your Sunbird BCBA reads the IEP goals so home goals reinforce them — the same words, the same expectations.
- Review together. IEPs are reviewed at least yearly. Bring progress notes from home; they help the team see the whole child.
