THE IEP DEFINED
IEP stands for Individualized Education Program. It is a legally required document in the U.S. for students who qualify for special education services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). An IEP outlines a student’s unique learning needs, goals, and the specialized services and accommodations they will receive to support their education and provide opportunities for success. It is developed by a team that includes teachers, parents, school staff, and sometimes the student. The plan is reviewed and updated annually to ensure the student is making progress.
