According to South Carolina's Office of Exceptional Children Policies and Procedures released April 6, 2009, the answer is YES...so long as the assessments contain specific objective, measurable criteria that are aligned with local curriculum and instruction. Personal opinions and other subjective measures are not appropriate. If a teacher-made assessement is developed to establish baseline data in the present levels and the measurable annual goal, it should be attached to the IEP so that anyone who may become involved in implementing the IEP can use it to develop approprate instructional plans and assess child progress as necessary.
