What We Do
-
The Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a written plan developed for each student eligible under IDEA that describes how the school district will educate the student. The parent(s) and a team of educators develop the IEP based on the available information about the student. IDEA requires that school districts include comprehensive information about the student on the IEP, including:
- Academic goals
- Services the student will receive
- Prescribed management of the student’s behaviors (if needed)
- Accommodations to be provided in the general education and special education classrooms
- Accommodations to be provided on statewide assessments
- Type of statewide assessment in which the student will participate
- Prescribed assistive technology (if needed)
- Transition services and post-secondary outcomes
The IEP is the tool used to determine what services a student receives and what a free, appropriate, public education (FAPE) means for that student.
