Individualized Education Program (IEP)
An Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a written plan designed to meet the unique educational needs of a student with a disability. It outlines specific goals, accommodations, and services that the student requires to succeed in school. The IEP is developed by a team that includes educators, parents, and specialists, ensuring that the plan is tailored to the student's strengths and challenges.
The IEP is reviewed annually to assess the student's progress and make necessary adjustments. It is a legal document that guarantees the student access to a free and appropriate public education, as mandated by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
