1. After checking out the IRIS model (http://iris.peabody.vanderbilt.edu/da/chalcycle.htm), share if your views regarding individuals with a disabilities changed. Will this experience change how you work with a student identified with disability?

2. Look to see if you can find your school’s child find announcement (sometimes it is in a calendar or on a school’s website) or check out school board policies related to identification of children with disabilities. Does the policy require pre-referral? Share your thoughts on these two items.

3. Share your own topic for discussion related to the referral process.
