What does the SABIS® IEP stand for ?
IEP is a common abbreviation for “Individualized Education Plan”. As the name suggests, the IEP is a tailor-made curriculum accommodation plan for students with special needs and/or learning disabilities. An IEP outlines specific or additional support services that a student should receive. Such support services could be of an academic or non-academic nature, catering to intellectual as well as emotional, physical or other needs. An IEP is established after a rigorous period of testing (what is called “core evaluation”) and meetings between the school, the parents, and possibly professionals such as a school social worker.
