What is an Identification Placement and Review Committee (IPRC)?
Students who receive special education accommodations must be identified as exceptional, which is the term used by the Ontario Ministry of Education (OME) interchangeably with special needs. It is the responsibility of the Identification, Placement, and Review Committee (IPRC) to decide if a student will be identified as exceptional, determine the student’s needs with reference to the OME Categories of Exceptionalities and choose a placement that will best meet those needs.
