TEKS Based IEPs
-
In Texas, the Admission, Review, and Dismissal (ARD) Committee is responsible for making decisions about a child’s special education program. The ARD committee is also known as the individualized education program (IEP) team in other states. After the initial evaluation report is complete, an ARD committee must meet to review the evaluation and determine if the child meets eligibility criteria for special education and related services.
