The use of virtual Individual Education Programs (IEPs) is the focus of her graduate research.\u00a0Using survey methodology, Keri discovered that while many teachers were initially stressed with the switch to virtual IEPs, many have now embraced the virtual process as it has allowed for increased family participation.<\/p>\n
