  7. Individualized Education Program • Present level of educational and functional performance (PLOP)- provide information on what is happening “now”: descriptive of specific strategies: object schedules, transitions, sensory activities/schedules. • Goals/Objectives: based on information in the PLOP goals/objectives address current needs to strengthen the areas of documented delay.
