P.E.T. Special Education Program

P.E.T. equips educators with tools required to meet the needs of students who are on an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). P.E.T. is especially helpful in providing information about a student’s learning style for the Present Level of Educational Performance (PLEP) within an IEP. This includes a description of the techniques and/or materials that have proven particularly to be effective or ineffective when working with the student.

The P.E.T. for Special Education package is available at the school or district level. Contact us to customize a P.E.T. package to meet the needs of your special education program.
