Each public school child who receives special education and related services must have an individualized education program (IEP).Each IEP must be designed for one student and must be a truly individualized document .The IEP creates an opportunity for teachers, parents, school administrators, related services personnel, and students
(when appropriate ) to work together to improve educational results for children with disabilities. The IEP is the cornerstone of a quality education for each child with a disability.
To create an effective IEP parents teachers, other school staff and often the student, must come together to look closely at the student’s unique needs. These individuals pool knowledge, experience and commitment to design an educational program that will help the student be involved in and progress in the general curriculum. The IEP guides the delivery of special education supports and services for the student with a disability. Without a doubt, writing and implementing an effective IEP requires teamwork.
This information is based on what is based on what is required by our nation’s special education law, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act or IDEA.
The IDEA requires certain information to be included in each child’s IEP. It is useful to know, however, that states and local school systems often include additional information in IEPs in order to document that states and school systems have to design their own IEP forms is one reason why IEP forms may look different from school system to school system or state to stat. yet each IEP is critical in the education of a child with a disability.
