Developing and Implementing MAPS and IEPS

Introduction
The purpose of writing this assignment is to understand the importance of IEPS and
MAPS among the student communities and the steps taken to develop and implement them.
For this purpose, the given case studies in the assignment are analyzed and ideas are given
out for the successful implementation of IEPS and MAPS. MAPS are the short form of
Making Actions Plans, which means formulating plans for the future welfare of the students.
MAPS consist of the set of actions used to help families, students, and professionals to get
into a quality educational program (Park and Seo, 2018). It was founded by Marsha Forest in
1989. Under MAPS, plans are discussed for an IEP transition depending on the student’s
strengths and weakness.
IEP (Individualized Educational Programs) is defined as a document that offers
special educational services to the students and the children in the school. The IEP programs
offer its services, especially to the students who lack the learning skills and these people are
apt for applying for the IEP programs (Farley, 2014). Therefore, the entire assignment talks
about how MAPS processes are carried out along with the transition from MAP to IEP by
over-viewing the given case studies.
Part 1: Knowledge and Understanding
a) Relevant Adaptations:
As per the case study, Lisa was a student who is physically impaired and unable to write
with her right arm. While she was undergoing her course on the business level 2, she was
unable to produce the reference letter as recommended by her teacher. Therefore, some
adaptations could be undergone to achieve her study goals in the future.
