Allan Blume
IEP Specialist
With over 45 years of experience in special education, Allan Blume has established himself as a thought leader in the field, specializing in guiding educators and parents through the transition to the new IEP format. Recognizing that while those who write IEPs are deeply committed to doing what is best for their students, they often find the process daunting, Allan developed the Blume Method to simplify and enhance IEP writing. This method provides practical tools, including formulas and sentence starters, to make the process more manageable, consistent across levels and buildings, and efficient, while preserving the critical principle of individualization at the heart of every IEP.
