Individualized Education Programs
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 a legal document under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which mandates that public schools provide appropriate education to students with disabilities. Regular reviews and updates are conducted to track the student's progress and make necessary adjustments to the program.
