IEP
Individualized Education Program
What it actually means for your child.
Legal Definition
An IEP is a written document that is developed for each public school child who is eligible for special education. It is created through a team effort and reviewed at least once a year. It outlines the child's current levels, annual goals, special education supports and services required, and any accommodations or modifications.
Why You Must Care
The IEP is a legally binding contract. The school is legally obligated to provide everything written in the document.
