individualized education programs (IEPs)
An Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a written plan designed to support students with disabilities in achieving their educational goals. It outlines specific learning objectives, accommodations, and services tailored to meet the unique needs of each student. The IEP is developed collaboratively by educators, parents, and specialists, ensuring that the student receives appropriate support in the classroom.
The IEP is reviewed annually to assess the student's progress and make necessary adjustments. It is a legal document that guarantees students access to a free and appropriate public education, as mandated by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
