The Individualized Education Plan
- The IEP is the ‘road map’ that your school will follow in order to provide your child’s education, when your child is eligible for special education and related services.
- Each student found eligible for special education will have their own, unique IEP
- The IEP describes the student’s educational program and also includes:
- The student’s current educational levels
- The annual educational goals for the student
- The student’s educational needs
- An IEP explains:
- Who will do what?
- Where? (e.g., Which classroom(s) or educational setting(s))?
- How (which methods will be used to meet the student’s educational needs)?
- For how long? (e.g., 20 minutes of Speech Therapy)
- How often? (e.g., Occupational Therapy once a week)
