An Individualized Education Program (IEP) is a legal document that outlines the educational plan for a child with disabilities. It helps your child by:
- Personalizing Education: The IEP includes specific educational goals tailored to your child’s unique needs and abilities.
- Detailing Services: It specifies the special education services, accommodations, and modifications your child will receive.
- Ensuring Legal Rights: The IEP is a federally mandated document that ensures your child’s rights to appropriate education and services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
- Facilitating Communication: It fosters communication among parents, teachers, and service providers to support your child’s educational journey.
