Every child with Angelman syndrome deserves a supportive and inclusive educational experience. By working together with educators you can create a learning environment where your child thrives.
This page lists several resources that have been created/developed by the ASF for Angelman parents related to Individualized Education Plans (IEP). Our hope is that these resources will help equip you with tools to ensure your child’s success.

IEP Bank
The ASF IEP Bank is a platform for parents and IEP team members to exchange IEP goals and objectives with each other to assist in planning your student’s IEP.
About IEP Goals
In recognition that states and local educational agencies differ in their requirements of how goal statements are written (i.e. different mastery or duration criteria, inclusion or exclusion of objectives, etc.), goals found here do not include all required pieces of the goal statement and are instead focused on ideas for content of new skills a student could be learning. It is up to the IEP team to ensure that each goal in the final IEP includes all necessary components and is appropriate for the individual student.
- Goals and objectives are based on skill acquisition rather than age or grade level
- Goals and objectives may cross a variety of categories or topic areas.
- The goals and objectives below can be used for state standards in areas of math, literacy, communication, social/emotional, physical and occupational. For example, a math goal for shapes can have a standard for the state standard for geometric. In literacy, a goal for colors can be a state standard for reading.
- Your student’s IEP should document accommodations and modifications related to goals. For example, if there is a math and literacy goal for learning shapes and colors, the instruction can be using a rubik’s cube, which supports OT/motor needs.
