Section 226.220  Development, Review, and Revision of the IEP

The development, review, and revision of each child's IEP shall conform to the requirements of 34 CFR 300.324 and 300.328.  The additional requirements of this Section shall also apply.

a)         When an IEP has been developed or revised, a notice in accordance with 34 CFR 300.503(b) and (c) shall be provided immediately to the parents, and implementation of the IEP shall occur no later than ten days after the provision of this notice.

b)         Either a child's educational provider or a child's parent may request an IEP meeting at any time.  Within ten days after receipt of such a request, the district shall either agree and notify the parent in accordance with 34 CFR 300.503 or notify the parents in writing of its refusal, including an explanation of the reason no meeting is necessary to ensure the provision of FAPE for the child.

c)         The development of an IEP for a child who has a disability on the autism spectrum shall include consideration of the factors specified in Section 14-8.02(b)(1) through (7) of the School Code.
