IEP Services

Individualized Education Program (IEP)

An IEP is a legal document that outlines a customized plan to provide special education services to a child in public school. It is designed to ensure that students with disabilities receive the support they need to thrive academically.

​

Purpose

IEPs ensure that students with disabilities have access to the general education curriculum, along with the necessary support to help them succeed.

Who’s Eligible?

A child is eligible for an IEP if they have a disability that adversely affects their school performance and falls under one of 13 disability categories as defined by federal law.

How Is an IEP Created?

• An IEP is developed after a child undergoes an evaluation.

• An IEP Team, including parents, teachers, and specialists, reviews the evaluation and other relevant information.
