Tracking and Programming
Many programs in common use can be used for tracking and program preparation. A database or a spreadsheet can record individual activities and achievements, and a word processor can collect and store anecdotal information and produce reports. The Peel Board has developed the IEP Engine program to help in the construction of IEPs. This involves FileMaker Pro layouts which offer choices of strengths, weaknesses, goals and strategies to be selected and added to a file for each student.
